Good morning, my dears,
Elon is now declaring war on Microsoft. Does this mean the end for the software giant?
Even if Elon's project were to fail, it would still be interesting for us investors to see who builds the infrastructure. And which blade suppliers and energy providers are on board. 💰💰
Elon Musk announces the founding of an AI software company called "Macrohard".
According to this, Musk plans to simulate software companies like Microsoft with AI.
"Macrohard" would join a whole series of companies owned by the billionaire.
Elon Musk announced that he wanted to "simulate" software companies such as Microsoft using only artificial intelligence. He even already has a name for the new company: "Macrohard".
Musk wrote in an X-Post on Friday that his AI startup xAI is building a "pure AI software company called Macrohard". "It's an ironic name, but the project is very real," he said. "Since software companies like Microsoft don't make physical hardware themselves, it should in principle be possible to fully simulate them with AI."
Musk gave no further details. A spokesperson for xAI did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for Microsoft also did not respond to a request for comment.
Musk is investing more in AI
Brent Mayo, an engineer working for xAI, retweeted Musk's post. Documents from the US Patent and Trademark Office also show that xAI filed a trademark application for "Macrohard" on August 1.
The application lists a broad range of AI-focused goods and services for "Macrohard", including "downloadable computer software for artificially generating human speech and text" and "downloadable computer software for designing, coding, executing and playing video games using artificial intelligence"
Macrohard would join Musk's long list of companies that he either partially owns or operates. Currently, Musk is simultaneously responsible for Tesla, xAI, X Corp, The Boring Company, SpaceX and Neuralink.
