A report said that Elon Musk’s company Tesla had talked about splitting profits with another of his companies, xAI, so that xAI could use Tesla’s AI models. Musk denied the claim.
Yesterday, the Wall Street Journal reported that Tesla would use xAI models in its Full Self-Driving (FSD) software, as part of a deal that was being talked about with investors. The AI company would also help make features like a voice assistant for Tesla cars and software for Optimus, Tesla’s humanoid robot.
Musk wrote on his social media site X (formerly Twitter) that he hadn’t read the WSJ story but that a post that summarised it was “not accurate.”
“Talks with xAI engineers have taught Tesla a lot that has sped up the process of achieving unsupervised FSD, but Tesla doesn’t need to license anything from xAI,” he wrote. “The xAI models are huge and contain most of human knowledge in a compressed form. They would not work on the Tesla vehicle inference computer and could not be made to.”
Musk started xAI to compete with OpenAI, which he helped to start but didn’t stay with. Parhlo World reported earlier this year that as part of xAI’s pitch for its $6 billion funding round, the startup described a plan for how its models would be trained on data from Musk’s companies, such as Tesla, SpaceX, The Boring Company, Neuralink, and X. These models would then be able to make technology better across all of Musk’s companies.
Musk’s move to start xAI has been sued by Tesla shareholders who say that Musk took talent and resources away from Tesla to start a company that is basically competing with Tesla.
