Elon Musk went toe-to-toe with Google after it suspended the Gemini image-generating feature because some social media users reported that the artificial intelligence was constantly generating images of people of color in an inaccurate historical context.
Google said it was “aware that Gemini offers inaccuracies in some historical AI-generated images. Gemini is “missing the target” and that it is “working to immediately improve such images.”

Then Musk wrote several posts on X where he criticized Google, reports Business Insider.
I’m glad Google got off the hook with AI image generation because it made their crazy racist, anti-civilization programming clear to all.
I’m glad that Google overplays its hand with its AI image generation, as it has done with its insane racist, anti-civilizational programming clear to all

Musk has a role in the artificial intelligence market. X’s AI, Grok, is a chatbot that learns from X’s posts, and which Musk has promised to make politically neutral.
The billionaire also walked on the head of Gemini, Jack Krawczyk. Gemini’s imaging capabilities were designed to “reflect our global user base,” he said Wednesday. Musk was not too lazy to find and delete Kravchik’s message about the 2020 elections and joked rather wryly:
Then he called his mom, drank a whole drawer of soy milk, and watched Rachel Maddow.
And in the comments he added the following:
I am exaggerating, of course, but the tragedy is that it is.
Also, I’m not attached to random characters. This psycho is most of why Google’s AI is so racist and sexist.
I’m exaggerating, of course, but the tragic part is that it is directionally correct.
Also, I’m not picking on some rando. This nut is a big part of why Google’s AI is so racist & sexist.

Earlier on Thursday, Musk wrote on X that he ran a Google search on his phone, started typing “why censorship” and found that “the first two results are for censorship.”

Musk positions himself as a fighter for freedom of speech, and this explains the large amount of manipulative and provocative content on X, in particular clearly pro-Russian. This is what the recommendations for this request look like in full, Musk has trimmed them so that you can illustrate a point of view that is convenient for you.
Musk promised a “thermonuclear lawsuit” to everyone who refused to advertise on X (due to anti-Semitism)
