it’s funny because Stranger In a Strange Land was counterculture at the time it was published (still is tbh) that had strong messaging promoting polygamy and a unifying religion. two things MAGA clearly wants.
Not only that but the author, Heinlein, also wrote Starship Troopers. you know…the one that glorifies fascist policies and borders on Nazi propaganda. also something MAGA clearly wants.
Knowing what I know about both Musk and Grok, I’d say the name is spot on if his goal was to assimilate the ideals of fascist polygamist christians. those three words pretty much sum up a perfect observation of MAGA members.
I’ve vaguely heard that Heinlein just took a whole bunch of different premises and ran with them in different novels. Although what I’ve gotten around to reading of his stuff so far, sounds very 1950s in style.
And Musk is the smelly guy. His AI is named Grok, as a smelly Troll.
Is Grok a reference to a troll?
I’ve only know of this.

I hate that he ruined this word
Not even the drink grog?
