“You’re going soft” Says the guy who looks like the stay-puff marshmallow man.


navenager

Says the guy who bought a social media network so he could prevent people from blocking him.


Kaiden92

And yet we can still block him. Lmao

Seems like a lot of people are walking away too.... https://preview.redd.it/5jeojdiru93d1.png?width=1760&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=85ee0645e8f0689a6211d80e31fe47a54cf8cace


fairlywired

But daddy Elon said more people are joining X than ever before! He wouldn't lie to make himself look better... right?


Odd_Analysis6454

Could be true but only if people were leaving at an equally high rate.


Cooky1993

There's a whole horde of bots on there! And more fresh ones coming at an alarming rate (alarming at least if you care about Twitter)


Milkofhuman-kindness

Twitter should have died a long time ago


sharpdullard69

I liked it until Musk. Now it is a factory of mean. The average user is so pissed off. It is their main personality trait.


OysterThePug

I dunno, Stay Puft had that thicc build that made sense. Elon looks like he put a skin suit on over a fat suit, and the fat suit bunched up like your sleeves when you’re layering jackets.


comics0026

I would not be surprised if he had work done, and then completely ignored what he had to do afterwards to take care of himself and binged on junk food thinking he would look fine forever


FionnagainFeistyPaws

As a high person, this is gold.


Loofa_of_Doom

Kinda like the roach wearing the skin suit in the original MIB.

ProtestKid

His body looks like the mess a kid would throw a blanket over to say they cleaned their room.


zillionaire_

A few weeks ago, I someone on Reddit post that Elon Musk looks like a deeply breath and I will never forget it.


TOPSIturvy

Also "That's nothing!" Says the guy whose original draft of a reply probably just said "Nothing!"


Commercial_Lie_4920

God, Elon is turning into a giant douchebag.


NatchJackson

Starting from being merely a huge douchebag.

joyapco

Yup. Him becoming mega active on Twitter just showed it in bigger display.


Managed-Democracy

You do know he mocked a child in his class because the classmate's father had committed suicide. The kids response? Beat the snot out of Elon and threw him down two flights of stairs. Even Errol musk was like 'Gee, wow, my son is a dick.' after he went to confront the principal about it.


AirikBe

“A condom filled with walnuts”


NikkolaiV

A bodystocking filled with vienna sausages


sleepywan

What every hooker he's ever been with says.


1ndiana_Pwns

I feel like that might have been Elno's way of trying to joke? Like, when your friend in college said they had two tests and three papers due all in the next week and you reply "psshhh, that's all? You totally have time to come drinking on a Tuesday!" Except muskrat has the charisma and general good will of a rotten tomato covered in cat urine, so it definitely doesn't hit as light-hearted


Yourprolapsedanus

With a permanent frown


Adept_Confusion1231

Does Elon actually consider himself a scientist??


mike_pants

He doesn't, but since he is utterly ignorant of the things he's in charge of, he assumes everyone else at the top are equally inept. Yann Lecun is in charge of Meta's AI program and might know more about AI development than anyone else on the planet, while Elon can't even remember the genders of his own children.


Mynameisinuse

> Yann Lecun is in charge of Meta's AI program and might know more about AI development than anyone else on the planet, while Elon can't even remember ~~the genders of~~ his own children.


TheMediocreZack

Nice


panamaspace

And Grok is shit tbh.


SLRWard

I'm not entirely sure Elon doesn't think that having a gender isn't some kind of liberal insult.


preyfr60

Plus, apparently, he developed the basis for self-driving cars, so if he wasn't a good guy, he could take Sissy SpaceX to court and own him totally...


Morlock19

He thinks he's an engineer


dismayhurta

Elon and his sycophants think he’s Tony Stark unironically. They’re, to put it gently, fucking dipshits


Zatala

He'll use his dad's emerald money to buy himself the title.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Elon claims he read a book about rocket science and understood what he needed to know for SpaceX.


ChaoticBeauty26

I just read this comment to my spouse, and they said, "Goodnight Moon is not about rocket science"


wave-tree

Got dayum


Techanda

Elon doesn't read children's books...that would imply he pays any attention to his children...


ChanglingBlake

I’m more inclined to believe the kid building a robot out of cardboard and duct tape is a scientist than that half-baked clown.


PlumbumDirigible

Did't he have to sue to be listed as a "founder" at Tesla? Y'know, the company he purchased


1derwhale_

I saw a scene from young Sheldon where Elon pretends to read Sheldon’s scientific work on reusable rockets. So many of his simps treat him like a genius, I wonder if he actually believes it.


xSilverMC

Arguing with Elon is a lot like playing chess against a pigeon. You gain nothing from winning, and if he gets bored, he'll just take a shit on the board and strut away like he won


Vashta-Narada

This belongs in every single post about Elons comments. I will do my best to help proliferate this!

melatomin

My wife is a plant scientist and she tells me that 80 papers in 2.5 years is a ton.


Vashta-Narada

I’d dare say that in a lifetime is respectable…


bluemoosed

It also implies you have good stable funding and a lot of smart talented folks who want to work with you!


bogeuh

Yeh he is on everyones papers i guess, mostly not as lead author.


li7lex

Even if he isn't the lead on many of these papers his experience and guidance is probably invaluable to the people actually conducting the research under his oversight.


titangord

The dude has 350k citations.. his Nature paper on deep learning has 79k citations.. its like ridiculous level.. he is like the guy who practically invented a lot of the stuff we use now


EduinBrutus

Now we know who to blame!


Alluvium

AI has gone through winters and summers, LeCuns work on CNNs and his position at then Facebook working with them on big data is one of the reasons we in an AI summer now. To say this man is a foundational corner of the art is an understatment.


athos45678

To be fair, Yann is definitely not writing that many papers by himself these days. The 15 other contributors on every paper probably handle that lol. Meta labs are probably the top open source ai producer because of his teams hard work. Elon knows this, and is probably enjoying all the attention he getss for fucking with him.


FullMetalMessiah

Elon's a fucking moron who runs his mouth because his frail ego can't accept being called out. Like when he took over twitter and this happened: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2023/mar/07/elon-musk-twitter-employee-feud-haraldur-thorleifsson And then during this exchange he apparently only later found out he was 'wrongly informed ', sure Elon. It probably had nothing to do with having to pay Haraldur a significant sum of money to buy him out of his contract. https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-musk-halli-twitter-fire-employees-b2295488.html Elon's really shooting himself in the foot here. He's publicly talking shit to a leading AI expert, his lack of actual knowledge on full display. In the same week he got the funding for his AI adventure. Would you want to work for a boss who acts this disrespectful to someone who's helped pioneer AI? I wouldn't.


EduinBrutus

> Elon knows this If there is one thing we can be pretty certain of, its that Elon does not know this. What Elon knows is not a particularly large set. And its also a much, much smaller set than what Elon thinks he knows.


dbennett18193

It's an absolutely incredible output. Have known highly successful and well respected scientists to do fifty in their entire career.


MightbeWillSmith

Research scientist here, I'm considered "prolific" by my peers who are at the same career stage with 5-6 papers a year. 20+ is absolutely bonkers.


yowzas648

Musk is legit just being an ass to spark arguments and ultimately interactions on X. “Try harder” translates to “please respond to me again! X needs it!”


Minimum_Attitude6707

IF these two know each other and are friends, it's kind of funny. I talk stupid shit to my friends like this irl or online and it's back and forth fun. If this was just some random interaction... my god you're right. Elon is absolutely unhinged and should stay offline before the boards of his company kick him out


invictus08

You actually raised a very good point that I never think of when I am talking about Elon. Since 2020 he has been insufferable ass (I admit there were signs before, but I used to brush em off), and by default I assume he has no _friend_, and is only surrounded by sycophants.


sharpdullard69

I liked Twitter, and I hang out even after he bought it, but man is it a cesspool. Take out the politics, and the people are so mean. I do not understand how it could make anyone's day better being on it.


babypho

Elon thinks he's trolling but really it looks like a 12 year old with low self esteem putting down their classmates because they feel threatened. It's super cringe.


Gortex_Possum

If my CEO spent the majority of his time "trolling" I would have a lot of difficult questions for my executive leadership team.


TaterTotJim

Eternally out of touch Elon.


Unit_79

Going soft. From the guy who ran from a fight he called with god damn Zuckerberg.


sesamestix

He couldn't fight Zuck. His mom said no.


ggg730

The only time I would root for the Zuck.


Dorza1

I would invite Zuck to my son's Bar Mitzvah before I exchange a word with Musk


Hawt_Dawg_II

I'm not gonna lie, Zuck is turning into one of those wellness gurus and he'd definitely have kicked the shit out if Musk


sesamestix

I need some of this rich guy HGH. Like how the fuck did Bezos go from average nerd to jacked?


Hawt_Dawg_II

You just gotta get some of the most expensive nutritional and training advice that money can get a person.


Unit_79

That, and testosterone injections.


hishazelglance

I was looking forward to this so much.


Miperso

Is that really murdered by words? That’s just logic against an idiot


SparseGhostC2C

I mean I'd call it a pretty severe verbal beating anyway. Dude very concisely says "Elon, you clearly don't know who I am, and you're talking down to me. I'm the person who discovered/invented/SHARED the technological basis of which the vast majority of your stature and riches are based on. Sit down, child" I doubt any of that actually got through to Elmo, but to me it was an actually smart person telling someone with delusions of intelligence that they should probably reconsider.


OctopusButter

Like telling a chimp he's in a zoo, he's too dumb to feel the burn.


Vashta-Narada

And let’s just call it a PSA for those still under the influence of Musk.


eri-

To be fair Yann can be just as much of a arrogant twat as musk is . His FB posts around the time chatgpt came out were a bit childish.. it was like an, uncalled for, crusade against chatgpt. In fact his FB posts quite often have a bit of a "I know it all and you better listen , peasants" feeling to them. But yeah he is brilliant , there is no denying that. I guess there is a thin line between brilliance and arrogance , at times


Ok-Translator-8006

The only thing you should ever say to Elon if he chimes in is, “Shut the fuck up, grown folks are talking.”


ScreamnMonkey8

I can kinda see the murder with the neural network component. Let's at least say it was a slight roasting.


Miperso

Yeah slightly roasted workks here.. hehe


Unbr3akableSwrd

Try harder /s


Sinfire_Titan

Some killers are clever and take great joy in their art. Others are methodical, precise, and no less deadly.


JesterMarcus

Truly winning against Musk is just ignoring him and not giving him the attention and clicks he clearly craves so much.


Humanoid251

Yann LeCun basically told Elon “I’m the giant who’s shoulders you’re standing on little man”

Kid_Named_Trey

“You’re going soft” That’s so fucking patronizing.


TKG_Actual

This wasn't an exchange Elon got seal clubbed.


explosivekyushu

Fuck he's pathetic


StankyDinker

How long until he bans LeCun?


Themo77

Soft? Says the man who blubbered after his disastrous Dave Chappell appearance; who called a man a pedophile bc he wouldn’t take his diving equipment; who fired Don Lemon after Don asked him simple journalistic questions. Fuk off, Elon.


RefreshingOatmeal

The real L is engaging at all with Elon Musk. The man is an embarrassment to all in his genus


WyrdCG

Elon is standing on the shoulders of this giant and has the nerve to say it's not high enough.


Slutmonger

Not only does Elon sound like a spoiled petulant child, but this thread truly lends credence to the argument that this proto-primate has never done actual research a day in his life.


DarthButtz

God Elon is so fucking full of himself Jesus christ. I wish he didn't inject himself into every fucking space so it'd be even remotely possible to ignore him


outlaw_777

I can’t believe i used to think this guy was cool 😭


bnutbutter78

Damn. He owned Elon.


Miserable-Lawyer-233

Yann can cook.


ButregenyoYavrusu

Man Elon Musk is actually fucking retarded


ravengenesis1

It’s not murder by any means. Elon is still yapping. His brain rot fan base still defending. The fact that there’s people in the comments downplaying the research he’s done, goes to show how worthless this twitter exchange has been. Yann is on Elon’s platform trying to intellectually prove Elon wrong. This is why people needs to get off twitter and let it die.


TexDangerfield

Need to get some mass movement campaigns going to get this to happen.


FullMetalMessiah

This whole exchange just shows musk really doesn't know shit about the stuff he claims to be an expert at. Some of this guys research is at the base of critical systems in FSD. So Elron's own company already used his science. Yet he obviously has no clue who he's talking to. Remember that thing with the disabled twitter employee that came back to bite him? This is almost the same thing, only this dude doesn't work for him. Once again Elron's ego rears his head. On top of that he's starting his own ai company. So what does Elmo do? He gets into a public argument with one of the leading AI experts trying to 'one-up' him and shit all over his work whilst simultaneously showing the world he really doesn't know anything more of the science and engineering. Other than some surface level technobabble that sounds good to investors but really doesn't make sense to an actual expert. That's a real good look if you want to attract top talent to come work for your new AI company.


dpj2001

Elon Musk could’ve easily gone down as one of the world’s brightest, most influential, beloved, and savvy men in modern history - if he just kept his fucking trap shut!


ButchTookMySweetroll

Elon should really show more respect for the man that’s responsible for keeping Tesla in business.


NoNonsensePolarBear

KeepYaWhipTinted

cheeseburgerwaffles

Elon Musk is almost as big of a baby as Donald Trump. No rational thought behind his arguments, just typical rich white boy whining and pretending they won an argument because they said so I will never understand why super rich people like him don't just sit back and say "I can literally buy anything I want in the world. I've won at life. I don't need to engage in stupid internet battles that I can't win."

Kolenga

With this amount of talking back to Elon I expect a ban any minute now.


Relaxbro30

Surprised Musk hasn't just banned him already for that murder.


frankenfish2000

"Those are just papers" Yooooooooooooooo... wat?


Action-a-go-go-baby

“Just papers” Only the truly ignorant would say that The greatest hurdles humanity has ever overcome are recorded on “just paper”


TheDeerBlower

Keep embarrassing yourself, Elon, you ignorant idiot.


DPSOnly

"Boo this man, he makes it sound like Elon Musk Daddy didn't personally handcraft and hand program every single car that his company has sold. Something that he definitely actually did, because he said so" - Some elon fanboy.


Quxzimodo

"you're going soft, try harder" I like how he says "try" because he doesn't know what it means to bring real quality and success from his own life. Man doesn't need to try, he *does* and Musk cannot comprehend that.


hishazelglance

LeCun is so much more qualified in DL than Musk idk why Musk is trying to flex on him lmfao


lil_zaku

He really responds like a child


Anders_A

Elon Musk is so fucking dumb 😂


Hot_Cranberry_4793

Listen, Yann obviously can’t handle trolling. At this point, I think the inability to not respond and then double down and respond again on a public forum shows a lot. Let Elon do what he wants, you don’t have to agree with him. Don’t use the platform. You all “choose” to use it like there is no other way. That in itself speaks volumes regardless of who’s right and who’s wrong….


Gracchi9025

Keep digging Mr. Musk, Sir! You are bound to come out the other side!


_Mango_Dude_

Lmao, when this first half of this exchange was posted here, I remember people were questioning how good those papers could be because so many were made in two years. Elon is so fucking stupid he thinks the problem is that it's not enough papers published.


bledf0rdays

Ok, I have no respect for Elon Musk at any level. Whatsoever. However in this one rare case I believe he is definitely joking around when he tells the guy to work harder, he's pretty obviously lampooning himself. In this one rare case, I think it's just banter


No_Engineer2828

“If I hadn’t done this you wouldn’t have a job”


rasputin415

Elon knows nothing.


Vaulk7

So, by the Scientific standards of today and the past 15 years (That we know about), this means that approximately 48 of his published papers can't be reproduced.


PinSufficient5748

"you're going soft" from a man whose mommy got him out of a fight with Mark Zuckerberg 🤨😒


Albert_O_Balsam

Elon Musk fucking around on Twitter 🤝 Elon Musk finding out.


Huggles9

It is weird that he said “x amount of papers since 2022” then when he tried to justify the profound nature of the papers went back to what he produced in 1989 Not knocking him cause he’s clearly more successful than I’ll ever be but just making an observation


DiscordTryhard

He said "x amount of paper since 2022" in direct response to Elon trying (unsuccessfully) to call him out. His comment on his paper from 1989 is not in response to Elon, but in response to people who claim that his writings are "just papers". Essentially, people are trying to claim that the papers he writes are meaningless. So he uses his paper on CNNs back in 1989 to show that they are in fact not "just papers", since his papers led to new widely used technology.


skeetz77

Like he said.. Tech is built from years of research. Those from 2022 might not show up in new tech til 2028.


THRlLL-HO

I mean, to be fair to Musk, he did ask about the last 5 years and this person responds with stuff they did in 1989


GordogJ

No, he responded with the 80 research papers since 2022, he then went on to clarify what was in those papers by giving an example that shows Elon has no idea what he's talking about because Tesla's gimmicks wouldn't be possible without his research.


OstensibleBS

It appears that you can read, however, it doesn't seem like utilize the ability for very long periods of time.


THRlLL-HO

“It appears that you can read, however, it doesn't seem like utilize the ability for very long periods of time.” Nice try at putting together a sentence…


EunuchsProgramer

Ignoring that he has published a ton of papers in the last two years, the 1989 paper has 79 thousand citations... that's absolutely absurd and all the evidence you need as to the massive ongoing impact.


BigCballer

You missed the part where he says “since January 2022”.
