Elon Musk writes e-mails of rage. Does it also use Gmail smart replies?

The redesign of Gmail, which began in the spring and was gradually rolled out into inboxes on the Internet throughout the summer, provides intelligent answers with one click. These are usually rather harmless phrases like "It sounds good" or "I can not wait!". Smart answers are generated by an automatic learning algorithm analyzing your inbox, but up to now, imitating the messaging style of a particular person. Do they just flatten everyone in a fashionable corporate automata, or are they able to reflect the personality of each? What about someone like, for example, Elon Musk, whose e-mail style has received a lot of attention in recent days? In reports from Business Insider and BuzzFeed, Musk is proving perhaps even crazier than in Twitter.

In a miraculous coincidence, Slate got access to Gmail from Elon Musk after the mogul accidentally left a Century City, Los Angeles, without disconnecting. * Imagine a man who trained his pop star girlfriend communicate in Signal's not such a master of information after all! Although we can not share most of what we have learned – legal reasons, blah blah blah – from the appearance of his inbox, the Google AI. succeeded in imitating the eccentric missives of the CEO. At this point, Gmail's "smart response" robot is perfectly trained to reproduce his fragile and impatient ego – so much so that it's unclear who is responsible for some of his recent screamers, real Elon or Elon smart answer. Here are some examples of Musk's intelligent answers:

WTF.

Workplace Shortcut Musk uses to offer, in return, constructive feedback to Tesla managers and check for problems. If that causes panic in panics, well … that's call managing, look. No time for hugs and kisses when you have three businesses to manage.

[No reply]

Tesla has an open inbox policy, but workers told Business Insider that the most common answer from Musk was not an answer. In terms of efficiency, it's actually the smartest answer because it does not require a single click.

Out of the file.

Gmail is usually able to tell when Musk communicates with a reporter and provide this phrase, which, as all journalists know and learn in journalism schools, is a card without a prison for sources. Journalistic institutions such as BuzzFeed do not always see it this way, arguing that "according to current journalistic practice, a conversation is not recorded if both parties agree to the conditions". These persons!

On the background

When "off the record" does not work, Musk has this guy on deck. He also did not fly with BuzzFeed (see above), but it is worth it.

[Link to a Google search for child trafficking]

Elon Musk does not have time to listen to Google "child trafficking" for every person who has sent him an email and who needs to be informed about child trafficking, what he called a diving instructor without providing evidence. It is therefore useful to add this link in one click.

The monsoon arrived later than expected.

A good excuse, whether it's why a submarine rescue mission did not work or other problems. Monsoons: classically unpredictable!

The Prime Minister personally thanked me by attached document.

For when Musk wants to prove that a prime minister personally thanked him for a good action, a loaned submarine or the like.

Fuck asshole.

Clippy used to ask Microsoft Word users to write letters and help with formatting – this simplified the process. In the same way, Gmail learned to pepper "You fucking asshole" in Musk's e-mails as an honorary title. The CEOs are very busy and Musk wins crucial seconds this way.

I hope he pursues me.

Practical because it comes back more than you think.

*Not really. Just a little fun with the famous sense of humor Elon Musk!
