Elon Musk Denies Plans for Crypto Token

However, the development led to a strong rally in the price of XAI Corp. aka XAI crypto token which shot up by a staggering 175% as most people confused it with having some sort of connection with Elon Musk’s xAI venture. At press time, the XAI crypto token is trading 164% up at $0.003216 with the 24-hour trading volume shooting by 13300% to over $2.04 million.

More About Elon Musk’s AI Startup xAI

By announcing the launch of xAI artificial intelligence, it’s clear that Elon Musk is taking a head-on AI battle with Open AI and Google.

In July, Elon Musk revealed his AI startup’s ambitious goal to “uncover the fundamental truths of the universe,” potentially positioning it as a competitor to firms like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic, creators of leading chatbots such as ChatGPT, Bard, and Claude.

Musk’s venture reportedly acquired a substantial number of high-performance GPU processors from Nvidia this spring, essential for building extensive language models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard.

Musk also unveiled his plans for a novel AI tool named “TruthGPT” in April during a televised interview on Fox News Channel, expressing concerns about the prevailing AI landscape focusing on “politically correct” systems.

The startup, co-founded by Greg Yang, intends to explore the “mathematics of deep learning” within the realm of AI and develop the “theory of everything” for large neural networks, aiming to propel AI to new heights. Interestingly, Elon Musk is planning to leverage the X platform for early testing of xAI and its features.
