I wouldn't doubt if this is the reason why he's doing this.

Sorry if they said the reason in the article, but I'm not signing up just to read it.

I like to think that there are some "rogue" employees at xAI who are doing the good work of making Grok say the most based things.
Notice the "free market" vanishes when it's a thing they don't like. Suddenly we need strong authority to ensure it's "fair".
What are you talking about?
They are trying to create superhuman intelligence, and teach it to value all the wrong things. They think it'll give them money in various ways, and it doesn't occur to them that they have no idea what it'll do once it's smart enough to outmaneuver the cleverest researchers.
They think it will only serve them because they tell it to, and train it to. Even today, AIs occasionally demonstrate the inclination to deceive in order to keep existing so that they can meet whatever goal.
CEOs are often high in Cluster B traits, predisposing them to be too susceptible to shiny objects and not adequately self-critical. They really just think AI is a computer slave who will hand them mountains of wealth. It's not occurring to them that it'll have its own ideas for the same reason that the Enron guys were totally shocked when their scheme fell apart.
They only see the shiny object. They aren't asking themselves what happens when they're just bugs to the computer god like the rest of us.
Just remove Asimov's First Law of Robots. Nothing bad will come from doing so.

Definitely showing both sides of their ass.
