Elon Musk wants to resume the reins of his businesses. In a recent meeting with the workers of XAI, the tycoon communicated to his staff his intention to create “maximalist truth” systems, but also raised two new projects related to artificial intelligence.
The truth above all. That old Musk ambition to create an AI that always tells the truth even if that implies not being politically correct now returns strongly. Editors from The New York Times were able to attend that meeting in which Musk stressed that Xai is “the only company in which the mission is the truth. If forces to the AI to lie or believe things that are not true, you are at risk of creating a dystopian future.”
Grok and uncertainty. Recent negotiations for new investment rounds in XAI have made the assessment of this company and its AI, Grok model ascend to 120,000 million dollars. Musk predicted that the product of Xai will quintuplicate the advertising of X to bring them to 10,000 million dollars, but it is not clear what these predictions pass.
Meanwhile, the company follows the wake of other Big Tech and is burning the money in ia as if there were no tomorrow. Musk highlighted the XAI connection with the Tesla optimus, which according to the tycoon “will be more productive than the entire global economy.” XAI acquired X with a strange operation that among other things justifies that Grok does not seem to use X data to train.
64 contra 700. According to managers who participated in that event Grok currently has 64 million active users per month, while the latest data suggest that Chatgpt has 700 million active users per month, almost 11 times more.
Chaotic reorganization. This summer there have been drastic changes in the XAI structure. Musk has totally reorganized the hierarchy of it and has led an effort to recruit new talents and engineers. But at the same time he has thrown several researchers or has seen how others have left for a serious problem. Igor Babuschkin, XAI co -founder with Musk, left Xai’s ranks in August, as well as other engineers and that Xai’s excfo, Mike Liberatore, which has ended up signing for OpenAi.
Grok does not stop creating controversy. According to sources close to the company, several of the IA researchers who have abandoned Xai have done it because the startup has set aside scientific orientation to fully focus on the development of products that manage to capture user attention. The examples are clear:

But it is a spectacular model in the benchmarks. The strange thing about that obsession with attracting attention is that Grok probably does not need it. Grok 4, the latest version of the model, has proven to be especially strong according to independent platforms such as LM Arena, LLM STATs, artificial Analysis or Vellum. Moreover, at this time it is the model that best behaves in the very complex (for machines) Benchmark Arc-Aagi 2, and also exceeded its rivals in July in the mathematical tests of the Benchmark of Epoch AI. That, however, does not always mean that the model is successful, and in Reddit a user highlighted that idea by saying that “disappointment with Grok 4 is proof that benchmarks mean nothing.”
New products in sight. At that meeting Musk spoke of creating a Microsoft competitor who nicknamed “Macrohard” (combining the two antonyms of his rival) and that would use Grok to create software. In addition to that, he raised the development of a AI product for children between 2 and 12 years old, which he called “Baby Grok.” This last product is launched or not, it would be a clear response to the controversies that lately surround the AI when used by minors.
Colossus 2. Another of Musk’s megaprojects is to launch Colossus 2, which would be more than three times more powerful than the current Colossus: of the 300 MW of this would be passed to more than one GW of power of Colossus 2. Musk has been working for months to finance this project with 12,000 million dollars,
Elon has returned. “Papi is very home.” This is how Elon Musk declared on Tuesday his apparent definitive return to the direction of his companies, Tesla and Xai. The scarves in the world of politics – which came out very expensive – seem to have been left behind, and the tycoon seems to have activated those febrile work cycles that not only (theoretically) he self -imposes, but imposes all those who want to work for their companies.
