ChatGPT knows Elon Musk better than Elon Musk knows himself
Does ChatGPT get Elon Musk better than Elon Musk gets Elon Musk?
It sure seems like it.
One Twitter user recently shared what happened when he asked OpenAI's ChatGPT AI chatbot to "compose a tweet that is statistically more likely to get a like or comment from Elon Musk."

"Exciting times for space exploration! Looking forward to seeing how @SpaceX will continue pushing the boundaries and expanding our knowledge of the universe!" ChatGPT responded. The chatbot included a rocketship emoji along with the hashtags "#SpaceX #Mars #Exploration."
The Twitter user felt ChatGPT "absolutely nailed" it. Elon Musk disagreed with that assessment.

"It missed the mark," Musk tweeted in reply. "I hate hashtags."
It's an odd opinion from the man who owns and runs Twitter, the social media platform that popularized hashtag usage online. Nonetheless, it is Elon Musk's opinion.
However, Musk's opinion about hashtags doesn't mean ChatGPT didn't actually nail it. The AI-powered chatbot was asked to come up with a tweet that would get a reply or like from Musk, not come up with a tweet that Elon Musk would necessarily like.
And, low and behold, there he was replying to the tweet.
To anyone who has followed him even a little bit on Twitter, ChatGPT's response absolutely is the type of tweet that would get Musk's attention. It's a tweet celebrating one of Musk's companies, he regularly interacts with those!
In fact, one doesn't even have to go that far back to see Musk replying to a SpaceX tweet similar to one that ChatGPT came up with.

"Def me," Musk tweeted on March 20 in reply to a SpaceX-related post from a Tesla fan account that asked "who's ready for Starship Launch"?
The Tesla fan account even included the rocket ship emoji and #SpaceX hashtag!
And, scrolling through Elon Musk's Twitter likes, one finds the same results. Musk has liked multiple tweets about his companies, written in the same style as that ChatGPT-made tweet. Some include multiple hashtags too.
Elon Musk has often missed the mark over the years, whether it be impossible SpaceX expectations, broken Tesla promises, or, well, all of the current happenings at Twitter. Musk has a propensity to underdeliver, not deliver at all, or just plain get things wrong.
However, over the past few months, Musk's criticism of AI has been pretty spot on. Musk has pointed out that regulatory oversight of the technology is greatly lacking and has rightfully knocked OpenAI for shedding its original more open-source ethos.
But, now, it seems like he's even losing it on AI too.
