Elon Musk Reflects on X, AI, and the Future of Tech

Elon Musk discusses his three-year ownership of X (formerly Twitter), highlighting fixes to its algorithm that now better balances content like showing diverse views on trending topics such as celebrity outfits, while integrating Grok AI to analyze posts for truthfulness—for instance, verifying claims in threads with real-time research. He introduces Grokipedia as a superior, AI-enhanced alternative to Wikipedia, which adds context and corrects biases, like providing fuller, neutral bios that include overlooked achievements. Musk recounts the chaotic early days at Twitter, from empty offices with $400 lunches to exposing government censorship through the Twitter Files, emphasizing how reopening free speech influenced other platforms. Shifting to Tesla, he outlines plans for robotaxis and Optimus robots, needing 25% voting control to ensure safety amid activist risks, and envisions a future where connected Teslas provide massive AI compute power, equivalent to 100 gigawatts from idle vehicles. On AI, he warns of rapid job shifts like automation in warehouses but stresses efficient, brain-like systems; he critiques OpenAI's shift from nonprofit to profit-driven, contrasting it with xAI's open models. Finally, Musk advocates sustainable energy via solar, noting Earth's iron abundance for batteries, and dismisses fusion hype since the sun already provides abundant, free power—enough to run civilization if harnessed properly, like China's massive solar production outpacing U.S. needs.
