Elon Musk Working on a ChatGPT and Google Bard Rival, Will He Bring AI Tokens?

Tech billionaires are currently in the race to build their own artificial intelligence (AI) systems and the latest news confirms that Elon Musk is now willing to enter this space putting up direct competition with OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google Bard.

During his recent interview with Tucker Carlson on Monday, April 17, Musk confirmed that he has plans to create a third option in the ongoing AI space. Calling Microsoft and Google “as the two heavyweights” leading the pack as of now, Elon Musk stated that he would be open to creating a third option.

Interestingly, Musk also added that the current AI chatbots had become too politically correct. He added that his AI company would focus on the truth and trying to “understand the nature of the universe.”

The tech billionaire didn’t share many details regarding how his advanced AI system would be. Musk was one of the early founders of OpenAI, however, he decided to part ways as the long-term vision of other members didn’t align with his.

Last month in March 2023, Musk also incorporated a new Nevada-based AI company dubbed X.AI, as per the filings. Interestingly, he also signed an open letter along with other tech associates to put a six months pause on AI development.

Elon Musk’s Everything app X

Musk confirmed that the new AI company would be part of this everything app called X. Furthermore, Musk has also merged the recently acquired social media platform Twitter into a company dubbed X Corp.

As we know, Elon Musk has been a strong proponent of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Dogecoin. Thus, the crypto community is curious whether Musk’s AI system would have space for AI tokens that have recently taken off.

As Musk incorporated the X.AI company, OpenAI cofounder Sam Altman took a jibe calling the development “concerning”.
