Elon Musk, owner of the social media platform X, recently clarified that his artificial intelligence startup xAI is not looking to earn revenue from Tesla in exchange for sharing its technology.
Musk Clarifies xAI and Tesla Agreements
This clarification comes after a Wall Street Journal report claimed that xAI has discussed sharing its technology with Tesla and in return would earn revenue from the carmaker. Musk responded to this article in a Sept. 8 X post, stating that xAI models are too large to run on Tesla's onboard computer.
Future Plans for xAI
In July 2023, Musk founded his own AI company, xAI. Although xAI is relatively new compared to OpenAI, Musk claims it has the potential to emerge as a significant competitor by the end of 2024. On Sept. 2, Musk announced that the xAI team has brought its Colossus training cluster online, which will double in size to 200,000 GPUs in the coming months.
Potential Role of Musk in US Government
Former United States president Donald Trump recently proposed appointing Musk as the head of a government efficiency commission if he reclaims the presidency in November 2024. In response, Musk expressed his willingness to serve the country without requiring any pay, title, or recognition. On Sept. 5, Trump reaffirmed his support for the digital asset industry, stating his intention to make America the world capital of crypto and Bitcoin.
Elon Musk continues to draw attention with his statements and initiatives, whether it's developing AI at xAI or potentially working in the US government. His drive and innovative approach reinforce his leadership in the tech world.
