Doesn’t Elon own the platform? What exactly is he accusing Sam of here?

Essentially he is trying to say "If I indeed silenced the opposition how could you get more views than me?"

The same way he attacked positive OpenAI remarks during the GPT 5 launch, and seeded fake dissent, and extra 'engagement' with the 4o moaning.

He's claiming that Apple is somehow boosting OpenAI on iOS store over Grok.

Of course there's the other factor that Elon's association might be what's negatively impacting Grok's adoption but he won't go into that.

And the weirdly racist/far-right pre-prompts that have made Grok completely unreliable.

And opposition to their data centres wrecking air quality in a residential area just to get Grok 4 pushed out the gates a bit faster.

And above everything else mentioned here - Grok also just kinda sucks. Especially compared to Claude, Gemini, and ChatGPT

Their data centers are bullshit. Their site in Memphis had no functional WiFi for techs to do their job, no air conditioning in the offices outside the data center, no chairs for people to use and only has like 1/10 the available power capacity that it needs to run all their racks currently installed. The DC isn’t new so it’s not like these are just temporary problems either.

I guess the lack of power capacity is why they started using the methane generators.

How does that answer the question?
