Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter (now X) and Square (now Block), sparked a weekend’s worth of debate around intellectual property, patents, and copyright, with a characteristically terse post declaring, “delete all IP law.”

X’s current owner Elon Musk quickly replied, “I agree.”

Yeah, you’re right, but wielding this power effectively requires thinking beyond the current fiscal quarter.

Also, small nit (because the essence of what you’re saying is absolutely correct), but…ain’t nobody trying to rip off Teslas. They’re absolute garbage, literal dumpster in the case of the cybertruck. Chinese EVs on the market today are already cheaper and better.

That said, from Elon’s perspective I’m pretty sure this is more about training LLMs on presently copy-written material, unhindered by IP protections.
