Musk Has Expressed Concern About Civilization Destruction From AI
Musk has been a vocal supporter of caution and regulation in the development of AI. He has repeatedly expressed concern about “civilization destruction” that could arise from the uncontrolled advancement of AI technology.

Elon Musk Founded The Company On March 9, 2023
The first information about xAI came to light in April. At that time, The Wall Street Journal reported that Elon Musk had founded a new company named XAI on March 9, 2023. The company’s headquarters is in Nevada, a city in Texas, and Musk is its only listed director. Musk’s family office director Jared Birchall has been made the company’s secretary.
The Date Was Chosen For The Launch Because 7-12-23 adds up to 42
Musk hinted why he chose July 12, 2023 to announce the launch of xAI. In his tweet, he said that the date “adds up to 42”. In fact, Douglas Adams’s science fiction classic “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” has the number 42 as the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
Elon Musk Is A Co-Founder Of OpenAI
Musk has also been a part of a major AI organization. In December 2015, Musk founded OpenAI with Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Ilya Sutskever, John Schulman, and Wojciech Zaremba. OpenAI is the company that created ChatGPT. However, he left it in 2018 to avoid conflict of interest with Tesla.
Earlier, Business Insider claimed in its report that Musk had purchased thousands of graphic processing unit units and systems, which are used in heavy-duty computing jobs such as AI and high-end graphics.
