Elon Musk is doubling down on his efforts in the generative AI landscape. On top of his xAI company, which recently acquired X (formerly Twitter) for $33 billion, the billionaire announced plans to build "a purely AI software company" called Macrohard.

He made the announcement earlier today on X while asking professionals in the field to join xAI and help build the company. "It’s a tongue-in-cheek name, but the project is very real!” Musk added.
