Musk's AI Robot Blames Trump and Its Own Creator for Texas Flooding Deaths

"Trump's NOAA cuts, pushed by Musk's DOGE, slashed funding 30% and staff 17%, underestimating rainfall by 50% and delaying alerts," the AI bot replied to a user asking who is responsible for the fate of the 27 young girls who are still missing in floodwaters at Camp Mystic. "This contributed to the floods killing 27, including ~20 Camp Mystic girls. Facts over feelings," Grok continued.

Elon Musk's AI tool Grok is pointing the finger squarely at its own creator, and the administration he once worked for, for the loss of life during this week's tragic flooding in Texas.

Leon and the orange pedo are responsible for the carnage in Texas.

Has the orange pedo started hawking MAGA caskets to capitalize on the tragedy he unleashed?

Federal workers traumatized and demoralized?

Mission Accomplished.

Trumpers applauded these same cuts, and many like them.

IAMRUNT says the folks who drowned are crisis actors.

MAGA, except for those families who actually lost children, have put this flood out of their minds.

More floods are coming.

Somehow Der Dotard will blame Biden, or even the victims. Now that he has signed a disaster declaration, Trump has put this matter out of his mind; otherwise it would interfere with his golf game...

Some of the MAGA leadership are indeed saying that.

So this is the new "journalism" trend? Asking a question to an AI platform and reporting on what it says? Are we no longer including strings of tweets as "content"?

Really badly trained bot.

The difference in life or death was whether you checked your cell phone for the alerts. You didn't hear a siren in Kerr County, because they don't exist. There was a bill this year that would have paid for them, it was voted down by reps that included the one from Kerrville. They bought a bunch of disaster response equipment instead on a different bill.

The river monitoring system is managed in a 3 way partnership between the river valley authority, funded by the authority's non-profit, in cooperation with a state agency and the USGS. It was last upgraded about 7 years ago with a grant from the USGS, which was matched and then exceeded by a donation from Pepsi & Frito Lay.

Wait, isn't this God's fault? Seems to me whenever there's a disaster in a blue area all the TV preachers start bleating about how God is punishing them folks. Not the same?
They must have been some real wicked little girls for this kind of wrath to be unleashed.

He blamed Biden yesterday. He couldn't come up with a reason but he said it's somehow Biden's fault.

take your AI and stick it up your but
--and this is for you lying ---- sucking despicable lying scum

n 2017, Texas received grant form the trump administration and used the money to install 10 new gauges and high water detection systems.
In 2023 Pepsi awarded a grant that was used to replace two radial gates that regulate flooding and high tide on the Guadalupe River.. ( PEPSI... NOT THE BRAIN DEAD VEGETABLE)
Tim Fahy, legislative director for the national weather service, said local weather stations were adequately staffed and issued warnings on July 3 and 4. He made it clear that staffing and funding had nothing to do with this ..

The warnings were give out in a timely manner:

From the liberal/dem leaning NBC:

www.nbcnews.com

Apparently few of any were listening, or felt it did not apply to them, IMO.

These deaths are stinky's fault.

" The warnings were give out in a timely manner"

You're conflating warnings with watches.

The warnings were issued around 1am.

The NWS was shorthanded.
