The billionaire also said that the company xAI has released its first AI model, a bot named Grok, after making it available to all X Premium+ account subscribers on Friday.

The startup aims to create AI tools that "assist humanity in its quest for understanding and knowledge," and Grok has been designed to answer questions in a humorous way.
Musk, who has criticized Big Tech's AI efforts as censorship-ridden, launched xAI in July, calling it "maximum truth-seeking AI" to compete with Google's Bard and Microsoft's Bing AI.
“Grok has access to real-time information through the X platform, which is a huge advantage over other competitors,” Musk added.
X, the social media company formerly known as Twitter that Musk owns, is separate from xAI, but the companies work closely together. xAI also works with electric carmaker Tesla and other companies.
Last week, Musk told British Chancellor Rishi Sunak that he thinks AI is “the most disruptive force in history.” The technology will be able to “do everything” and make work as we know it a thing of the past, Musk speculated at the first Global AI Safety Summit in Bletchley Park, England.
In 2015, Musk co-founded OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, which has created a worldwide AI hype, but he stepped down from the board in 2018.
