Mark Cuban says Elon Musk’s Twitter plan goes deeper than anyone realizes
of topics yesterday
Billionaire tycoon Mark Cuban has a theory on what Elon Musk’s long-term plans are for Twitter, and they have precious little to do with protecting civil rights enshrined in the American constitution.

“He isn’t pushing free speech,” the Dallas Mavericks owner andShark Tank star shared on Twitter on Thursday. “When Elon Musk goes out of his way to engage with and promote the accounts and tweets of people who disagree with him, then I’ll believe he is about free speech.”
Nor did the investor known for his enthusiasm over cryptocurrencies agree with Musk biographer Walter Isaacson that the big goal for the once-ousted PayPal CEO is disrupting the financial services industry.
Instead, Cuban believes Musk is primarily focused on developing his own version of ChatGPT after the visionary entrepreneur’s very public break with its creator, OpenAI, which he co-founded in late 2015 and helped finance.
“He gets to take the entire Twitter firehose to train or feed any open-source model and have a competitor to the Big 3,” Cuban continued, referring to Google, Meta and OpenAI together with its partner Microsoft.
Musk believes he was instrumental in recruiting OpenAI’s key talent, first and foremost chief scientist Ilya Sutskever, that ultimately stole Google DeepMind’s thunder.
All of this is why I think @elonmusk is starting his own @truthgpt, or whatever he will call it. He gets to take the entire @twitter firehose to train or feed any open source model and have a competitor to the big 3. He can weight his own tweets and those of the sources he… https://t.co/tWk4Kfp8tv

ReutersUS banks rethink social media as a threat, not a marketing tool
NEW YORK (Reuters) -Bankers are beefing up risk management, monitoring and emergency procedures around the use of social media after an internet-fueled run toppled Silicon Valley Bank two months ago and sparked turmoil in the industry. Lenders are taking action, rethinking social media's role as a potential risk rather than marketing tool, after tweets questioning SVB's financial health prompted nervous customers to pull $1 million per second from their accounts before the bank failed on March 10. "Social media risk was primarily reputational, but now it has led to deposit flight risks, which are existential," said Sumeet Chabria, founder of ThoughtLinks, a consulting and advisory firm that works with banks.
