Elon Musk Accuses Google and Meta of Strong Political Bias

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, stated on Tuesday that “Google and Meta’s Facebook and Instagram have strong political bias,” referencing a tweet alleging Google meddled in the US elections. On X, a user by the name of Steven Mackey uploaded a post that included accusations that Google meddled in the US elections. According to Mackey, “Google is far more than just a racist company—it is a company that meddles in our elections both now and in the past.”

Musk responded to the post by saying, “There is a strong political bias at Google and Facebook/Instagram.” They had a voice in the outcome of any particular election, though it’s difficult to determine if they were the determining factor. Musk continued, saying, “That video of Google executives having an all-hands struggle session after Trump won was disturbing.”

In the meantime, the tech mogul commented, “The sheer insanity of that actual response from Google’s AI is staggering!” in response to a post that included screenshots of Gemini’s response to “misgender” Caitlyn Jenner. The bias will remain, even if they corrected so that it is less noticeable in the future.

“AI replicates the errors made by those who created it. This scenario amply demonstrates the case for anyone who are unsure about how things would go wrong if AI took over the globe, the speaker continued. Additionally, Musk stated that, in his view, the only viable approach to AI safety is “to be maximally truth-seeking.”
