Company X has not previously publicly stated its AI ambitions, unlike Musk. In July, the billionaire registered a new firm, xAI, which aims to "to understand the true nature of the universe" According to a description on the company's website, it "will work closely with X" to "make progress towards our mission"."

"We will make sure that the X competitor to LinkedIn is cool" " Musk wrote on X.
People send me LinkedIn links sometimes, but the cringe level is so high that I just can't bring myself to use it, so I ask for the resume or bio to be emailed.
