It would be crazy if something like that could be realized as an IDE plugin for something. But clearly Elon himself only writes code in Notepad.

I dunno if you're joking, but yeah there's IDE plugins that do this. GitHub Copilot grabs context from files in your edit history and you can tell it to edit, refactor, "fix" etc. selections. The more complex actions, the less likely to succeed, though.

Sorry for not indicating I was joking, it's exactly what the other commenter says.

https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1856-grok/ Looks like people already made IDE plugins for Grok in IntelliJ and also VSCode. So yeah, it's just Elmo being a moron.

I assume this is Poe’s Law in action. Elon historically doesn’t understand shit about tech so the commenter is just highlighting something that’s been GA for other tools for years.
