Saying “never bet against Elon” does not actually make you look smart
The world’s richest man has been more of a main character in the news cycle than usual over the past 10 days, which is saying a lot. We had Elon Musk’s showoff of a “flying car” version of the future Tesla Roadster (“jumping car” more accurately describes this exercise in cold-gas vaporware), more announcements of steps to turn Starlink Mobile into a full-fledged network (never mind SpaceX’s severe shortfall of terrestrial spectrum) and Musk hyping a Tesla-SpaceX merger (SpaceX shareholders might want to hold their applause).
Whatever Musk says, you can expect one reaction from many people who should know better: Never bet against Elon.
That saying seems to come from Musk’s former business partner Peter Thiel, but it’s become a bit of a mantra–especially on X, where Musk has drawn a weird Greek chorus of sycophantic superfans who either don’t mind or outright cheer his racist rants about immigrants.
I understand how that phrase can be easy to invoke from the legit accomplishments of SpaceX and Tesla. I’ve experienced them firsthand–watching one Falcon 9 and two Falcon Heavy launches at Cape Canaveral, then doing a nearly-1,700-mile road trip in a Model 3 in 2022–and I’ve written my share of appreciative things about both companies, SpaceX especially.
But as a catchall rationalization of everything Elon says he’ll make happen, “never bet against Elon” amounts to weak-minded foolishness. Of course you can bet against the guy–and in three obvious cases, your wager could have paid off well.
Cybertruck: Tesla’s metal trapezoid of a truck may seem ubiquitous because of how easy it is to spot one of these things from a quarter-mile away, but in reality it’s sold worse than Ford’s Edsel.
Tesla’s slumping sales could use a boost right now. But instead of shipping a lower-cost EV that might help Tesla compete with the affordable electric cars from BYD and other Chinese automakers that are now racking up sales outside the U.S., the company introduced this $74,990-and-up monstrosity that isn’t street-legal in Europe.
I imagine that the reaction to that poor choice–and to the not-really-flying Roadster and to the still-vaporware Optimus robot that for some reason graces Tesla’s Georgetown showroom in D.C.–among China’s EV industry remains whatever “LOL” is in Mandarin.
Hyperloop: Musk’s notion of vehicles whooshing through low-pressure tubes at hundreds of miles an hour deserved skepticism when he revealed it in 2013 as a supposedly superior alternative to building high-speed rail in California (not that there isn’t much to critique about CAHSR’s management and design failures).
Musk not committing his own money and his own Boring Company operation to build hyperloop networks should have been a tell. Instead, startups lined up investors to build versions of this design in places like Abu Dhabi, then failed to pour concrete because the design proved unworkable.
Much closer to Washington, former Maryland governor Larry Hogan (R.) fell for this nonsense in 2017 and then watched the concept of a D.C.-NYC hyperloop unravel over the next few years. Elsewhere around the world–notably China–high-speed rail has kept rolling.
Political donations: Yes, Musk spending more than a quarter of a billion dollars to help Donald Trump get elected in 2024 may have helped in swing states. But what happened months later when Musk spent another $20 million in just one of those states, Wisconsin?
Dropping that much money there–plus briefly touting an illegal $1 million sweepstakes for voters–did not swing an April 2025 election for a spot on the state Supreme Court. Despite Musk declaring that “Western civilization” was somehow at stake should Brad Schimel (R.) lose, the people of Wisconsin voted for the judge’s Democratic opponent, Susan Crawford, by an almost 10-point margin.
One possibly relevant factor: Musk’s approval ratings in polls are now almost as bad as Trump’s, and Musk can’t claim anything like Trump’s cult of personality.
The appropriate response to any version of “never bet against Elon” is “citation needed.” Musk has done some extraordinary things but now seems extraordinarily detached from the societal circumstances that result in most people proffering dumb ideas having their peers tell them “that’s a dumb idea.”
Too many media-industry folks, meanwhile, need to stop bringing a “never bet against Elon” mindset to covering Musk’s predictions or pledges in what my fellow tech scribe Karl Bode mocks as “CEO Said a Thing” stories. Journalists do their readers a disservice when they fail to remind them of Musk’s spotty record of delivering on his promises–and freelance journalists do their own incomes a disservice by passing on such an easy way to pad out their word counts.

Most businesses know how to track their Google rankings.
But what happens when a potential customer stops searching on Google and starts asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, or another AI assistant which product they should choose?
Your website might rank well. Your content might get traffic. Your competitors might even have fewer backlinks than you.
Yet when a customer asks an AI assistant for recommendations, your competitors appear while your brand is nowhere to be found.
That creates a new visibility problem: which questions are you losing in AI search?
I'm building Aurvikon to help answer that question.
The problem with measuring AI visibility
Traditional SEO gives us familiar metrics:
These metrics remain valuable. But they don't fully explain how your brand appears inside AI-generated answers.
Imagine someone asking an AI assistant:
Your brand might appear in one answer and disappear from the next.
A competitor might be recommended repeatedly. Another company might be described as the category leader. Your own product might be missing entirely.
Looking at a single AI-generated answer won't tell you the whole story.
You need to understand visibility across the questions your potential customers actually ask.
The shift: from keyword rankings to question-level visibility
I'm interested in a more useful way to think about AI search visibility.
Instead of asking only:
"Does my brand appear in AI search?"
Ask:
"For which relevant buyer questions does my brand appear, where do competitors appear instead, and what can I do about it?"
That second question leads to much more actionable work.
Consider three possible findings from an AI visibility audit:
1. You're missing from important questions.
People ask questions directly related to your product category, but the AI response doesn't mention your company.
2. Your competitors are being recommended instead.
Your product may be relevant, but competing brands are consistently appearing in the answers you're trying to win.
3. Your brand appears, but not in the way you want.
An AI response might mention your company without accurately communicating its core use case, differentiator, or value.
These are different problems. They shouldn't all receive the same recommendation to "publish more content."
What we're building with Aurvikon
Aurvikon is an AI visibility tool focused on helping businesses understand how their brands appear across AI answer platforms.
The core idea is straightforward:
Identify the questions where your brand is losing visibility, understand what appears instead, and turn those findings into an action plan.
A practical workflow looks like this:
Step 1: Identify the questions buyers ask
Start with questions your target customers might ask before choosing a product.
Don't limit the research to your brand name. Include category searches, comparisons, alternatives, use cases, and purchasing decisions.
Step 2: Test those questions across AI platforms
Run relevant questions across the platforms you want to monitor, such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini.
Treat the responses as observations to analyze, not as permanent rankings.
Step 3: Identify where you're losing
Look for patterns:
This is where an audit becomes more useful than a collection of screenshots.
Step 4: Turn findings into actions
Every visibility gap should lead to a hypothesis.
Maybe a product page doesn't explain a use case clearly. Maybe your comparison content is weak. Maybe your product lacks supporting content for a particular buyer question.
Investigate the evidence, make the relevant improvement, and test again.
The goal isn't to manufacture mentions. It's to make your brand easier to understand, evaluate, and recommend when it genuinely fits the user's needs.
The difficult part isn't generating an AI visibility report
AI answers change. Results can vary by wording, location, model version, and time.
That means a report saying "your brand was mentioned" is only a starting point.
A useful system should help you move from observation to diagnosis:
Buyer question → AI response → competitor comparison → visibility gap → action → retest.
That repeatable workflow is the problem space we're focused on at Aurvikon.
We're especially interested in making the results useful to founders and marketing teams who need to decide what to fix next, rather than simply collecting another dashboard of numbers.
What this means for SaaS founders
If you're building a SaaS company, think about the questions someone would ask immediately before buying your product.
Not just:
"What is [your brand]?"
But:
These questions reveal how AI assistants represent your category and which products they surface for potential buyers.
They can also reveal gaps in your positioning and content strategy.
AI visibility isn't a replacement for SEO. It's an additional area to measure as customers discover products through AI-generated answers.
I'm building Aurvikon around one practical question
I believe the most useful starting point for AI visibility isn't another generic score.
It's knowing which valuable questions your company is losing, which competitors show up instead, and what you should investigate next.
That's the problem we're working on with Aurvikon.
I'd love to hear from other founders, SEO professionals, and SaaS marketers:
If you could see every important buyer question where AI assistants recommend your competitors instead of you, what would you want the tool to tell you first?
Would you prioritize the competing brands, the missing content, the sources behind the answers, or the specific actions most likely to improve visibility?
I'm interested in how people are approaching this problem in practice.#ai #seo #startup #showdev #software #coding #development #engineering #inclusive #community

Dishwasher detergent pods are worse than every alternative in every conceivable way. For the price Dollarama is charging for a pack of 11 pods ($3.75), I could buy 63% of a 1.8kg ($5.99) box of powder. Let's do the math... At $3.75 for 11 pods, that's 34c per 11g pod, which in this case just contains powder anyway (and a little orb of Jet Dry). Meanwhile at $5.99 for 1.8kg of No Frill's powder, you get 1800g total, at a value of 30c/100g.
Sure, a box of 50 or whatever pods is probably a better value per pod than 34c—you know what, let's find out...
The exact same pods (Finish Powerball Classic) also come in a bag of 105, which at the current sale price of $22 (reg. $24.99) makes each 11g pod... 21 cents.
So I can pay $5.99 for 1.8kg of powder, or $22 for 1.75kg of pre-portioned powder, negating my dishwasher's pre-wash cycle almost entirely?
And people just accepted this as the state of the art in detergent technology the moment they hit the shelves? It's fucking bananas.
