  • Elon Musk says An X Phone With Samsung As Potential Partner Is Not Out Of Question |

    New Delhi: Taking on the Apple-OpenAI collaboration in a big way, tech billionaire Elon Musk said on Tuesday that his own X phone is a possibility with Samsung as a potential partner which cannot be ruled out, as he slammed the integration of ChatGPT in iPhones and other Apple devices.

    Reacting to an X user who claimed that “X will partner with Samsung to manufacture an X phone” which will be optimised for the X app, offer an open-source operating system (OS) and a “direct connection to Starlink”, Musk said, “it is not out of the question”.

    Musk earlier said that it is “patently absurd” that Apple isn’t smart enough to make its own AI, “yet is somehow capable of ensuring that OpenAI will protect your security & privacy”.

    Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river.

    “Apple has no clue what’s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They’re selling you down the river,” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO added.
    Apple is yet to comment on Musk’s allegations.

    Earlier in the day, Musk threatened to ban iPhones from all his companies over the integration of ChatGPT into iPhones and other Apple devices. Apple on Monday announced that in iOS 18, users will be able to ask Siri questions and OpenAI’s ChatGPT will answer.

    Musk posted on X that if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, “Apple devices will be banned at my companies”. “That is an unacceptable security violation,” Musk added.

    At its World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC 2024), Apple announced that it is going to integrate ChatGPT with Siri. Apple said that it is integrating ChatGPT access into experiences within iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia, allowing users to access its expertise — as well as its image- and document-understanding capabilities — without needing to jump between tools.

    “Siri can tap into ChatGPT’s expertise when helpful. Users are asked before any questions are sent to ChatGPT, along with any documents or photos, and Siri then presents the answer directly,” the company said.

    Also, ChatGPT will be available in Apple’s systemwide Writing Tools, which help users generate content for anything they are writing about.

  • Elon Musk Asks X Users To Post Long-Form Articles To Promote Citizen Journalism |

    New Delhi: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, on Sunday, encouraged X users to post long-form articles on the platform and create space for citizen journalism. Some users have already started posting full-length articles written by them on X, as Musk tries to compete with traditional media giants.

    “I just published my first X Article! Thank you @elonmusk for creating a platform for citizen journalism,” said a user. Musk replied: “Publish full-length, complex articles on X!” Another user commented: “Great idea! Engaging content on X will attract more readers.”

    Last September, the tech billionaire visited the US-Mexico border and live-streamed his tour of the region. Musk then encouraged people to do citizen journalism on X. “Please encourage more citizen journalism! You can do live video easily from your phone.

    More on-the-ground reporting from regular citizens will change the world,” he posted. The X owner has invited journalists to publish directly on X and earn more. He has also made X an open-source platform.

    He is even planning to launch his own news distribution service called XWire, saying whatever is relevant in legacy media is already available on X. The aim is to rival existing news platforms for disseminating company PR news and press releases.

  • SpaceX Will Enable Anyone To Travel To Moon, Mars: Elon Musk |

    New Delhi: SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and even travel to the Moon and Mars, in the future, its CEO Elon Musk said on Saturday. “Over time, SpaceX will enable anyone to go to space and travel to the moon and Mars,” the tech billionaire posted on X social media platform.

    According to him, SpaceX is expected to exceed 90 per cent of all Earth’s payload to low-Earth orbit later this year. Currently, SpaceX’s rocket Falcon is nearly 80 per cent reusable and its mega rocket ‘Starship’ will eventually take reusability to approximately 100 per cent. The Starship is likely to land astronauts on the Moon during the crewed Artemis 3 mission in 2026.

    The space vehicle has so far had three test flights, and the fourth will take place soon. According to the company, the fourth flight test of Starship could launch as soon as June 5, pending regulatory approval. Starship’s third flight test made tremendous strides towards a future of rapidly reliable reusable rockets.

    The fourth flight test “turns our focus from achieving orbit to demonstrating the ability to return and reuse Starship and Super Heavy”, the company said. The primary objectives will be executing a landing burn and soft splashdown in the Gulf of Mexico with the Super Heavy booster, and achieving a controlled entry of Starship. In the meantime, Musk’s satellite-based internet service Starlink has surpassed 3 million customers in 99 countries. The affordable service has recently been launched in Indonesia and Fiji.

  • Elon Musk Plans Largest-Ever Supercomputer Four Times Larger Than Meta’s For xAI Startup: Reports |

    New Delhi: Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and Space X, is planning to give tough competition to Alphabet’s Google and Microsoft-backed OpenAI by building a supercomputer, termed the “gigafactory of compute”. 
    The billionaire tech mogul has planned this move to support the development of his artificial intelligence startup xAI, as per reports. 

    Elon Musk also told investors that he wants to get the proposed supercomputer running by the fall of 2025. He will also hold himself personally responsible for delivering it on time. Adding further, Musk mentioned that xAI may partner with Oracle to develop the massive computer. 

    During a presentation to investors this month, Elon Musk said that he will connect groups of GPU chips – Nvidia’s flagship H100. This will make the anticipated semiconductor would be “at least four times the size of the biggest GPU clusters that exist today” including those utilized by Meta for AI model training. 

    To recall, Elon Musk said training the Grok 2 model took about 20,000 Nvidia H100 GPUs, adding that the Grok 3 model and beyond will require 100,000 Nvidia H100 chips.  

    Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence startup xAI has developed a Grok AI chatbot and the company will need 100,000 specialised semiconductors to train and run the next version of its conversational Al Grok reportedly. 

    Notably, Elon Musk is one of the world’s few investors with deep enough pockets to compete with OpenAI, Google or Meta on AI. The field of AI has become intensely competitive, with major players like Microsoft, Google, and Meta, and startups such as Anthropic and Stability AI vying for dominance after the debut of OpenAI’s generative AI tool, ChatGPT, in 2022.

    To recall, Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018, later saying he was uncomfortable with the profit-driven direction the company was taking under the stewardship of CEO Sam Altman. 

  • CEO Elon Musk Accuses WhatsApp, Claims Meta App Breaches Private User Data Every Night |

    New Delhi: Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has criticised Meta-owned WhatsApp for allegedly exporting users’ data every night. An X (formerly Twitter) user posted that WhatsApp exports user data nightly, which is “analysed and used for targeted advertising, making users the product, not the customer”.

    However, the Meta or WhatsApp are yet to comment on Musk’s allegation. Musk replied, “WhatsApp exports your user data every night”. “Some people still think it is secure,” said the tech billionaire.

    Computer programmer and video game developer, John Carmack, responded to Musk, saying is there any evidence that the content of messages is ever scanned or transmitted? “I assume usage patterns and routing metadata is collected, and if you invoke a bot in a conversation you are obviously opening it up, but I am still under the impression that the message contents are secure by default,” Carmack posted on X.

    The X owner has attacked Mark Zuckerberg-run Meta Platform in the past too. Earlier this month, the billionaire claimed that Meta is super greedy at taking credit for advertisers who run campaigns on its platform.

    The rivalry between Musk and Zuckerberg is well known. They were apparently set for a “cage fight’ some time back – dubbed as the fight of the century. However, the showdown between the tech leaders never happened.

    “Starlink is currently experiencing degraded service. Our team is investigating,” the company wrote on its website.
