Elon Musk Admits He Previously Resisted AI, But Now He’s All In; Signaling Fiercer Competition Ahead with His AI Firm xAI

NVIDIA’s CEO claims that what Elon is doing with AI is “singular” and something never done before, although on this occasion, he was talking about xAI’s pace of deploying large-scale AI clusters. Jensen claims that the supercomputer gets functional in a four-year timeline, but Elon’s team managed to do it in just 19 days, which is simply shocking, and it shows the dedication running through the workforce in terms of scaling up AI technologies, and in particular, enhancing the abilities of the Grok AI model.

Elon hasn’t been a fan of AI for quite some years now, and some of his older conversations on the technology have labelled it as “summoning the demon” or a “double-edged sword.” However, his mind has changed, apparently, once he saw the scale of the AI hype and how massive the demand currently is. Elon was also a co-founder of OpenAI, so he knows a lot about what artificial intelligence actually is all about. For now, Musk is leading with his xAI startup, which has managed to create the Grok LLM, which is one of the most popular AI models out there.

Elon plans to integrate AI across all his companies, so he has tagged SpaceX, Tesla, and xAI in the same post. We recently saw Grok getting integrated into Tesla mainly for entertainment purposes, and SpaceX has recently invested $2 billion in xAI as well, showing that artificial intelligence is the next big thing for Elon and his businesses.
