# We Asked an AI to Finish Real Elon Musk Tweets

![We thought it would be fun to run some Elon Musk tweets through a neural network designed by OpenAI, the company he founded and quit.](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/we-asked-an-artificial-intelligence-to-finish-real-elon-musk-tweets.png>)

## ElonBot

We've [written previously](<https://futurism.com/openai-dangerous-text-generator>) about [Talk to Transformer](<https://talktotransformer.com/>), a site by OpenAI that uses a sophisticated artificial intelligence to complete passages of text with surprisingly deft context.

Close news watchers will recall that Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, co-founded OpenAI, but decided to [part ways](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-quits-research-group>) with the company earlier this year, pointing to disagreements with its direction — which is why we thought it would be fun to run some of the eccentric billionaire's most iconic tweets through Talk to Transformer.

## Neural Musk

Musk [announced some exciting news](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1131373357922865152>) about the Boring Company today — but Neural Musk had different ideas for the tunnel-digging venture:

Remember when Musk [suggested adding dragon wings](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1117563679099240449>) to SpaceX's Starship? The AI has another plan:

Musk's riff on a [dirty Tesla video](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1126589271454785536>) was also no match for Neural Musk:

This was the [tweet](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/810108760010043392>) that led to the Boring Company — until Neural Musk put a Trumpian spin on it:

Musk [recently joked](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1124124507273175040>) about changing the Tesla horn sound. But his vision was no match for Neural Musk's galaxy-brain concept:

Recall that [beautiful render](<https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1122824422031646720>) of Starship on the Moon? Neural Musk has bad news for its passengers:

## Author
I'm responsible for editing, assigning, and scouting at Futurism, as well as occasionally writing for the site. That work involves keeping an eye on a wide range of narratives and issues, but over the past few years I've become increasingly interested in how AI is shaping the future of media, the web, and information itself. My day-to-day often involves collaborating on reporting and commentary projects bylined by my colleagues, but I try to find time to do my own reporting as well; stories I've broken for Futurism have been cited by publications including the New York Times, the Washington Post, the New Yorker, Wired, Ars Technica, New York Magazine, the Columbia Journalism Review, Bloomberg, and more. I grew up in Southern Vermont and attended Vanderbilt University. Prior to Futurism, I contributed to outlets including the Boston Globe, Vice, Wired, Slate, the Atlantic, the Outline, Ars Technica and more, and did stints in farming and food service. I currently live in Brooklyn, New York, and in my free time I enjoy pinball, word games, cycling, running, and music production.
