Musk said in a post post that his AI -startup, Xai, a “Pure ai -software company is called, Macrohard”.
“It is a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real!” he said. “In principle, given that software companies such as Microsoft themselves do not produce physical hardware, it should be possible to fully simulate them with AI.”
Musk did not give any more details and a spokesperson for Xai did not return a request for comments. A Microsoft spokesperson did not respond to a request for comments.
Brent Mayo, an engineer who worked for Xai, has retweeted the post of Musk.

The founding of Macrohard also comes as Musk pushes further to AI and Robotics, including encouraging Tesla to invest in Xai. In a win of 2024, Musk said that those who think of Tesla only as a car company ‘keep the wrong framework’, and Tesla called an ‘AI Robotics Company’.
Musk is also increasingly emphasizing projects such as Robotaxis and Humanoid Robots.
