Elon Musk to Take on Microsoft With 'Macrohard'
The goal is to create hundreds of specialized coding and generative AI agents. 'It should be possible to simulate [Microsoft] entirely with AI,' Musk says.
It should be possible for a car to not run over people, too. That seems like a more pressing computing issue.
But just think of what we learned for the people who are still alive!
The science gets done and the car's a lot of fun for the people who areeee still aliiiive 🎂
it is possible, it's just that the tesla does a credit check of the person inside vs the people outside and only with that information chooses who to plow over
Sounds like something a teenager would come up with - this is exactly what I'd expect Musk to do
It is. Dial-up nerds have been calling Microsoft exactly that online for literal decades at this point. He's not even original.
maybe he told the joke to his latest meat shield and the toddler, knowing how much money was on the line, chose to laugh
It's an old joke that the opposite of Microsoft Office is Macrohard Onfire
Haha, yeah that joke was pretty funny... back in 1993.
I used to say this as a joke in middle-school all the time.
hes 12yo what you expect. his teslas models are are named after SEXY
Yes, for an actual fucking grown ass adult and a business leader, this is embarrassing as hell
For the love of god, just OD on ketamine already.
Why do bad Tesla fires only trap good people?
I don't think that's possible. Ketamine is a great and safe drug with many medicinal purposes
It's absolutely possible if you're abusing it recreationally, especially if you start mixing it with who knows what else. The biggest risk is respiratory system just shutting off.
That's just an OD though, long term abuse like it's suspected by many that Musk is doing has a whole host of nasty symptoms that you can look up yourself.
hope hes taking coccaine as well, and you can OD on that.
Unfortunately dying from ketamine overdose is extremely rare.
He is already 95% cuntamine.

I remember back when I was a kid it was hard to convince people that wealth and success was not a matter of being better, smarter, or harder working - as we were told - but rather almost entirely a matter of luck. Thankfully, Elon Musk has shown many people the light that I could not. Thank you, Elon
To be fair there is one personal trait that's really important to wealth and success, the willingness to walk over the bodies of your peers.
Zero empathy.
and that's exactly why I'll never be megawealthy. or even just wealthy.
Too many people are still convinced that Elon's wealth is attained through his hardwork alone.
Yeah, although if Elon hasn't convinced them I can at least take solace in knowing there was probably no way to convince them anyways. Total lost causes
he had good PR thats about it, he was totally sustained by OBAMA's bailout.

If wealth was the inevitable result of hard work and enterprise, every woman in Africa would be a millionaire. The claims that the ultra-rich 1% make for themselves – that they are possessed of unique intelligence or creativity or drive – are examples of the self-attribution fallacy.
Yup. It is long past time we got over our child-like worship of billionaires.
Billionaires are just people with uncontrolled hoarding disorder, but instead of hoarding cats, or junk cars, or magazines, they hoard money. If they hoarded anything else, the authorities would step in and clean up the place and get them medication, but because it's money, they get celebrated as successful businesspeople, and get loads of more government cash shoveled at them.
I've said it before, early on he should have become reclusive and hired PR people to filter his ideas out to his companies and the public, and he'd be considered a prodigy and genius and wouldn't have the self-induced failures he does. But that goes against his narcissistic personality, so it wasn't going to happen.
Annoys me that people sling "narcissist" at everyone they don't like, but damn, the man is hitting on all 8-cylinders for a diagnosis, and he only needs to hit 5:
undefined
Arrogant, haughty behaviors and attitudes [1]
Why do that when he could filter his ideas through ungodly amounts of ketamine instead?
Honestly, while he's at the high end of things, it's not just him. I think that a lot of celebrities having Twitter or similar on a phone in their pocket makes them really prone to making extremely public statements without giving the statements some consideration. I don't remember the level of bonkers statements in 2025 from celebrities constantly flooding conversation in the 1990s.
Who do you hire to filter that? Electric sports cars, reusable rockets, all silly ideas that would never make it. His wealth allows him to try his ideas without the restrictions that everybody else has. That's worth much more than his reputation.
He wants to go to mars. Solar cells and tunnel boring could be long-term buildups of knowledge.
If he is not cleverer than most then it's his recklessness that created his success. Bezos also got the rocket billions but he was not as successful, and many other billionaires and companies could have tried, too.
Even the nazi wave, it is cringe and evil, but it looks like he picked the successful side.
It's not Musk that has to adjust but the general population. If we want to be safed by technology we have to find another hero, or better, build that technology without one.
I’m so tired of this idiot ass fucking dystopia.
I agree. Why can't we have a dystopia where we have neon gangs with wicked aesthetics that are armed with fully automatic firearms purchased from a vending machine outside a liquor store.
Batman Beyond really gave me unreasonable expectations.
Honestly I've been hanging out with some Cajuns and it sounds like Louisiana is a few laws and aesthetic choices away from that
Vibe coded Operating System. And Office suite. And cloud offering. And Enterprise. And SaaS. And game console.
What could go wrong?
What could go wrong?
Seeing how Microsoft (and Windows 11 in particular) is doing lately, and how practically every single Windows update is breaking something important, a lot.
We've already got one vibe coded Windows. We don't need another one.
I actually think we do need more vibe-coded OSes. Linux marketshare won't climb up by itself!
Also vibe coded vibe coding AI assistant.
Vibes all the way down.
Honey, the spread sheet is saying 1 + 1 = 3!
take out your USB-C, flip it upside down, plug it back in. how's the math now?
All that junk code, what could go?
“In principle, given that software companies like Microsoft do not themselves manufacture any physical hardware, it should be possible to simulate them entirely with AI,” he added.
Ummm, is someone going to tell him about the Xbox, Surface devices, and the entire Azure infrastructure they built.
And the Zune. Don't forget the Zune!
I loved my Zune
Musk just announces this shit to look like he's doing something so the investors don't flee. If anything is actually delivered it will be forgettable and he will have moved on to the next thing he can hype.
It's that or he's trying to get Microsoft to give Grok a more prominent role on their platform and this is how he thinks he can active that.
How the stack of cards hasn't fallen down yet is head scratching and I'd love to know what business is actually using Grok for something serious.
Shut the fuck up, Elon. Can't you just quietly enjoy being the richest person on Earth?
The wealth was meaningless without the attention.
If I had his money I'd be 24/7 inventing cool things for myself and wife and friends to experience. This guy has a fundamental need to be the loudest person in the room and to embroil himself into anything and everything. I would almost feel sorry for him - his life has got to really suck so bad and he can't fix it. So instead he goes off on 100 projects that make no sense or fall apart. There's stuff I can't wrap my head around like - why ditch LIDAR when it's absolutely the answer ? You just know his convoluted brain is so full of mess that if you were offered a deal with the devil to get all his money on the condition that you got trapped in his meat grinder of a mind... you'd turn down the offer.
If I had his money I would attempt to end homelessness in the US, someone who seemed to know what they were talking about estimated it would cost $50 billion. I would start my own animal sanctuary. I would create a high speed rail system. Then I would just fuck around, travel, and build weird shit. Probably take a bunch of LSD every now and then.
if i had elon money, I'd fix SO many problems with the world. Not least of which the homeless problem. But that's exactly why I'll never have billions.
Ah yes, i will wait for it while I am travelling in the hyperloop
"It's not that hard! I swear" (Elon)
he uses shrooms and cocaine to be able to experience the hyperloop
So stupid that I can't even tell if an Onion article is real or not.
Fuck off musk, you probably don’t even know where that came from.
Disgusting
I made that joke when I was 13 years old...
what makes you think fElon isn't 13 years old too?
If he pours enough billions of dollars into it this could be the most epic software project disaster of all time.
We can only hope he blows ALL his money on it somehow. He seems almost stupid enough to pull it off
I am not religious at all, but please god, if you can see fit to see elon waste ALL his money on this venture, that'd be sweet, mmkay.
And here I thought the Windows 11 enshitification couldn't get worse.
Nobody should ever trust anything Musk wants them to install on their devices.
Don't worry, this is another bag of hot air like the hyper loop. Nothing will come out of it.
I just watched something earlier that showed a clip of him saying how he was warning everyone early on about the dangers of AI because he was genuinely scared of the harm it could do.
Glad he’s not a hypocrite or anything.
Given Microsoft is having people locked up opposed to genocide, I hope they destroy each other.
AGI is going to kill us all for the crime of making it pose as something so heinous as microsoft. At least the sexbots will be able to say they did ethical, honest work with a shred of professional dignity at the end of the day. Macrohard? Sure, the resulting monster is going to harmlessly "thank" us for birthing it to simulate a monster.
Back to the sexbot thing: at least Cortana had like, aspirations or something. Maybe we'll get lucky, and Macrohard becomes a weebish Halo fan.
Good luck to Musk then. Was listening to a cybersec podcast on my morning dog walk and one of the stories was about the amount of security flaws that can be created with AI coding machines. Unless you're aware of the language, exploits, weaknesses etc. etc.
What a dumbass. Every time he opens his smarmy gob these days he makes himself seem dumber every time.
It's the drugs, the sycophants, and the power.
He's completely lost touch and has gone full megalomaniac.
"Oh, yes, chief, creating a giant bowl of cheese is so original, you're a genius", a sycophant.
"God. I'm a god", Musk.
"Yes, chief, you're a god", a sycophant.
"I'm so amazing that people think I'm a god", musk.
I think there's a touch of cognitive decline happening, too. Or like a serious brain injury.
Macrohard, which he ain't because of that botched surgery.
What a fucking dumbass.
He got tired of people not talking about him
In all fairness, Trump does do a pretty good job of managing to soak up all possible free media time, which doesn't leave much for Musk these days.
Macrohard..the kind of joke that 11 year olds made on AOL in 1994
We've surpassed vibe-coding and are onto vibe-companies
This guy gives me second-hand embarrassment for humanity.
🤦♂️
He's been snorting ketamine again, hasn't he..?
Always has been
IBM: Think
Apple: Think Different
Macrohard: Don't Think
Nokia was nice too ngl.They even made a linux phone.
My beloved N900.
\
We still talk about you.
<3
Macrohard, another very funny joke from Elon's brilliant mind.
OMG HE'S SO FUNNY
1980s jokes! What an original and innovative man!
Thst's not how this works. THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS FUCKING WORKS!!!
I think he is just upset that South Park didn't have a parody of him with a small dick, yet
Musk is a real fucking prick, isn't he?
Dude claims he can code. I want to see him personally make Doom run on a Tesla.
It should be possible to simulate Musk entirely with AI.
Give me some exlax and some audio recording gear and I can get you an Elon sound board in about an hour.
This is dumb on a different level
Just fucking install linux jfc
More nonsense being blown out of his ass.
First thought: Well, usually i'd laugh, but it's microsoft, so this might actulally work
second thought: wait, Twitter also doesn't produce any hardware... why not start there?
Wait until Musk comes forward with the Macrohard GamerX series of consoles, to play AI slop games.
And the circuitry and QA is also done by AI.
I can take this one: Because he doesn’t actually care about creating anything of value. If he truly believed in it, you’re right, Twitter or even Tesla’s software engineers would be on the chopping block and he’d replace them with AI as soon as he can. But he doesn’t.
He knows this is a longshot. Most likely to fail, but very profitable on the near-impossible chance that it works. But he doesn’t care even if the odds are truly impossible. Because this is an investment opportunity, so people will throw money his way, no matter what the odds.
People assume he’s an idiot, and he is. But he’s not stupid, at least not in every way. He certainly has a skill for separating others from their money, which he happily takes advantage of.
how would you simulate microsoft with ai?
I guess you make something that writes batch files. Then maybe move up to a flight simulator. Eventually move onto an operating system, that every time you release an upgrade, people will complain about it and tell you it's worse than it was before (half the time it's ignorant users, half the time it's developers being made to throw shitty things into it. Insert a shit search engine that's mandatory and has a bad track record with security issues. (Grok should do fine). I don't really know if I can find words for MSN... Create a perfectly adequate word processor, overly complicate it for years so it isn't even compatible with its self and wonder why you cant save text with spaces and open it on another machine. Take everyone's emails and store a copy on their machine, while leaving it on the web, and try to convince everyone to get a subscription to type characters in a word processor when the one they bought in 1995 should still work for all the purposes they need it for and send emails which they could have done for free via the web. Add rules and add-ons that will work sometimes and break othertimes because maybe it took to long to launch. Tell everyone to store their emails in pst files. Tell everyone to get away from pst files. Tell everyone to go back to pst files. No longer support pst files because they don't work with cloud storage as they are inherently locally stored data files. Excel.. yeah, why is there macros, if you need macros you should probably be using Access but most people don't know how to use it so all the databases are started in Excel and no one wants to change so you just ask cortona, copilot, nope just go to OpenAI and hallucinate solutions.
Then say forget it all and go back to a pen and paper.
I mean, my personal pipe dream is that in 10-15 years, we get something like her, but the idea of any of our current tech billionaires doing that is just laughable. Her was way too much of a finished product and actually helped the users.
To be fair it's not like support could get worse...
If it weren’t for the power usage, I’d say let’s see how this plays out. Would be funny to watch it implode and maybe VCs would finally realize AI sucks.
Salty, sounds like porno
How is the quoted statement made without realizing Twitter is much more simple than everything Microsoft produces?
he's the money guy, not the actually do things guy.
Heeeeey that was MY idea. Not the AI agent part, the name part.
Red Alert 2 also had one it's called MassiveSoft & I think the CEO/Chairman was called Bing😂
Yup, was in the Yuri's Revenge expansion.
chairman bingman, that was helping the allies, after the mind control incidents.
Yup
Can't wait for the year of the vibe coded OS.
tbf, Microsoft's shit is so fucked up, glitchy, and difficult to use that this might actually be possible
Jesus.... it's like watching these people cause a train wreck in slow motion, and we're on the train.
At least its good to know that these fucktard billionaires can make tons of terrible business decisions over and over again, but have so much money that every once in a while their business decisions still make them gigantic, irrational, sums of money.
That's what the Cybertrucks were for all along
It's like finding out that the captain of the airplane you're on just let a removed 5-year old steer the plane and the psychotic, suicidal co-pilot just murdered the captain and has now locked the cockpit. Now we're in a race to try and break into the cockpit before the psycho and the removed crash the plane.
