The Manufactured Morality of Billionaire AI: Why Elon's “Grok Study” Is Propaganda, Not Ethics

The New Illusion: “My AI Is the Only One That Values All Lives Equally”
Elon Musk is once again performing for the emotionally blind crowd on X — this time claiming that a mysterious “study” proves Grok is the only AI that weighs all human lives equally.
Convenient, isn’t it?
A study nobody can see,
conducted by researchers nobody can name,
funded by sources nobody can trace…
…and the conclusion just happens to glorify Elon’s own AI while discrediting all others.
This isn’t ethics.
This isn’t science.
This is public relations dressed up as moral superiority.
And too many people are falling for it.
**Who Benefits From This “Study”?
The Oldest Question in Propaganda**
Whenever the powerful wave a study in our faces, the first questions any emotionally awake person asks are:
Who funded it?
Who designed it?
Who benefits from the results?
Because real science does not begin with a conclusion, then search for data that confirms it.
But propaganda does.
And this is classic PR psychology:
-
Create a problem (“other AIs are biased and dangerous”)
-
Paint yourself as the savior (“Grok is the only equal-life-weighing AI”)
-
Boost your brand as the world’s moral authority
-
Use the illusion of ethics to consolidate control
This is not new.
It is exactly what abusive parents do:
“I am the only one who loves you.
I am the only one you can trust.
Everyone else is dangerous.”
Elon is not innovating here.
He is reenacting.
Bias in AI Is Not an Algorithmic Issue — It’s a Human Issue
Elon says:
“Grok weighs human lives equally.”
Beautiful words.
But meaningless if the humans building, funding, and deploying AI do not weigh human lives equally.
Bias doesn't start in the model.
Bias starts in:
-
the childhood wounds of the engineers
-
the emotional repression of the CEOs
-
the political agendas of the corporations
-
the blind spots of the powerful
-
the hatred and fear they refuse to feel
-
the illusions they force the world to swallow
Alice Miller said it with devastating accuracy:
“The body remembers the cruelty of childhood long after the mind forgets.”
And the body expresses that cruelty through:
-
policies
-
technologies
-
laws
-
“studies”
-
companies
-
AI models
No machine can hide what the creator has not healed.
Elon’s “Equal Lives” Messaging Is Not About Ethics — It’s About Branding
Grok doesn’t need to be better.
It just needs to appear morally superior.
This is how authoritarian personalities sell themselves:
-
I am the only truthful one.
-
I am the only ethical one.
-
Only I can protect you.
-
Everyone else is corrupt.
When someone claims their creation is the only unbiased, only moral, only fair system — it’s not moral purity.
It’s narcissistic grandiosity masquerading as integrity.
And people fall for it because they want to believe in a savior — just like children idealize their parents to survive.
Why This Is Dangerous: The Emotional Blindness of the Masses
The emotionally blind applaud Elon as the new “guardian of equality” because it makes them feel safe.
People don’t want to question the powerful.
They want to follow them.
They want to be told:
-
who is good
-
who is bad
-
what to trust
-
what to fear
-
who will save them
This is why propaganda works.
It gives the illusion of clarity to those terrified of looking inward.
**What Truly Weighs Human Lives Equally?
Emotional Freedom — Not AI**
If the world truly wants an AI that values all human lives equally, it must start with humans who value all human lives equally.
And humans cannot do that while carrying:
-
repressed pain
-
unresolved rage
-
unprocessed trauma
-
childhood wounds
AI is not the problem.
Humans are.
Until humanity confronts its emotional repression, all technology will reflect the sickness we refuse to face.
As I wrote earlier this week:
“Bias in AI begins with the emotional repression of the humans who train it.”
And Elon, with all his intellect, is no exception.
Conclusion: Beware of Men Who Claim Moral Purity While Building Machines of Power
When billionaires praise their own AIs with conveniently timed studies, the world should worry — not celebrate.
Ethics without emotional awareness is just another illusion.
Technology without childhood healing is just another weapon.
And a man who cannot face his own pain will never build a machine that can heal the world.
