It seemed in conflict to me with this sentence in the OP (which Isopropylpod was replying to):
Elon wants xAI to produce a maximally truth-seeking AI, really decentralizing control over information.
I do think in some sense Elon wants that, but my guess is he wants other things more, which will cause him to overall not aim for this.
I am personally quite uncertain about how exactly the xAI thing went down. I find it pretty plausible that it was a result of pressure from Musk, or at least indirect pressure, that was walked back when it revealed itself as politically unwise.

yepp, see my other comment which anticipated this
Ah, yeah, that makes sense. Seems like we are largely on the same page then.
