    Sadly this guy can simply buy and build a new house while staying at one of his other houses to deal with this self-own.

    Should I put any effort at all into finding out what kind of toys my children like? No I’ll just ask a glorified autocomplete to do the equivalent of typing “top 5 Star Wars Lego sets” into google and buying everything from first Reddit thread it spits out.

      I mean, would be neat to make something like “I want to fly there, so give me options, check also for rental cars and vacation homes with this-and-those constraints, give me a list and prices” and have it have a go on it. That would really make family vacation easier if I could trust the results.

      But, lo and behold, I cannot trust the results at all, so it keeps being a fantasy (which destroys the world in the meantime, like, ecologically and economically). Then again: after destroying everything, no need for family vacation planning, so, yeah?

        “I don’t live there but whoever does is totally valid for putting up those security measures! People must hate them, surely for no reason!” - Elong probably

    What about us normies who have to do price comparison, shipping, tariff, and then those of us who buy based upon political affiliation? I would never buy from a MAGAt, republican or trumPedo lover.

      That’s the fun part. Elon was advertising giving Grok your credit card information so it could do something like, “shop for the lowest prices and check out with it.”

      I won’t even shop at a yard sale if you’ve had a republican sign up in the last decade

    It’s an ad to show that grok can buy stuff for you. He doesnt care about a canceled Lego order and this is very likely just one of the residences on spacex’s texas site. All this really does his push his ad to more people.
