Tesla CEO and Twitter owner Elon Musk has revealed plans for his latest venture, artificial intelligence (AI) startup xAI, to work with the two companies to advance AI technologies.
Musk aims to leverage Tesla’s “silicon front” and “AI software front” to accelerate the development of self-driving capabilities. He also plans to use public tweets from Twitter to train xAI’s AI models, aiming to achieve artificial general intelligence (AGI) and replace established players like Microsoft, Google, and OpenAI.

During a live audio session on Twitter Spaces, Musk criticized other AI companies for developing the technology without considering the risks to humans. He expressed his desire for regulation in the AI field and revealed his efforts to meet with government officials in the United States and China to emphasize the importance of responsible AI development.
Musk acknowledged that xAI will use Twitter data to train its AI systems, as other companies have done. He mentioned that xAI aims to create AI systems and products that are “more curious” and interested in text, image and video training. Musk highlighted the need for AI systems to understand the physical world, not just the Internet, and he believes Tesla’s driving data can contribute to that goal.
As for the collaboration between xAI and Tesla, Musk said the details would be better answered by Tesla. He mentioned Tesla’s custom silicon and highlighted the company’s in-house vehicle hardware, such as Autopilot and full-self-driving capabilities, which rely on advanced driver assistance systems.
Musk’s xAI initiative is part of his broader vision to revolutionize AI development and transform progress. Through collaborations with Tesla and Twitter, it aims to overcome the limitations of existing AI models and create AI systems capable of solving human-like problems. However, he also acknowledged that the resulting AI language model could provide controversial answers, as it would not be “politically correct”.
The potential partnership between xAI, Tesla, and Twitter marks an important step in the development of AI technologies and highlights Musk’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation in the field.
