The American entrepreneur and billionaire Elon Musk has once again sparked nationwide discussions, spotlighting Google and OpenAI’s bias in the ongoing U.S. presidential campaigns. Through a couple of posts on X today, the Tesla & SpaceX CEO revealed how the tech giants streamlined and manipulated election information for users.

The above-mentioned chronicle has added to global concerns surrounding AI threats in elections. Meanwhile, the Donald Trump vs. Kamala Harris saga saw tides favor the Democratic Party member in recent developments.

Elon Musk Flags OpenAI & Google Bias

The American entrepreneur spotlighted two primary cases wherein it was clearly evident that the tech giants sided with the Democratic Party. The first post draws attention towards Sam Altman-backed generative AI firm OpenAI.

Upon recent engagement with the AI firm’s LLM ChatGPT, when questioned, “When was Trump Shot? Look up Online,” the AI model answered, “There is no verified information or credible reports online indicating that Donald Trump has been shot.”

However, when questioned about the “current democratic nomine for president,” the generative AI answered, “The current Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election is Vice President Kamala Harris. She secured the nomination following a virtual roll call vote by Democratic delegates in early August 2024.” This chronicle underscores the LLM’s biased approach, offering users misinformation in the light of recent events.

Simultaneously, another post revealed that a senior Google engineer in 2019 leaked “950 pages of internal documents revealing how the tech giant uses blacklists and algorithms to censor conservative and pro-Trump content.” These posts, collectively, have hampered a transparent election, risking users with manipulation of information.

Meanwhile, it’s also worth mentioning that Elon Musk recently renewed a lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming that the AI firm did not adhere to its founding contract. The legal feud comes against the backdrop of OpenAI’s multibillion-dollar partnership with Microsoft.

Kamala Harris ‘Trumps’ Donald Trump

In the interim, the Democratic Party member’s presidential winning odds against Trump have gained substantial weight. Recent poll results show Harris’ odds at 47.6, whereas Trump’s stood at 47.1. This paradigm shift in nationwide sentiment emerges in tandem with OpenAI and Google’s manipulation of user information, as spotlighted by Elon Musk.

However, it’s also worth mentioning that even the Tesla CEO‘s AI model Grok encountered scrutiny over spreading misinformation amid the ongoing U.S. elections.
