Grok: Searching X for "From:Elonmusk (Israel or Palestine or Hamas or Gaza)"

This reminds me in a way of the old Noam Chomsky/Tucker Carlson exchange where Chomsky says to Carlson:

  "I’m sure you believe everything you’re saying. But what I’m saying is that if you believed something different, you wouldn’t be sitting where you’re sitting."

Simon may well be right - xAI might not have directly instructed Grok to check what the boss thinks before responding - but that's not to say xAI wouldn't be more likely to release a model that does agree with the boss a lot and privileges what he has said when reasoning.

That quote was not from a conversation with Tucker Carlson: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nBx-37c3c8

Interestingly, someone said the same about Tucker Carlson's position on Fox News and it was Tucker Carlson, a few years before he got the job.

Wasn't Tucker Carlson essentially kicked off of Fox for believing something different?

There was the $787M lawsuit settlement Fox agreed to because of Carlson's content. That probably had a bit more to do with it.

It's kind of part of the same thing. He said stuff Murdoch didn't like so he was gone. Whether he believed it or not is hard to tell.
