X is Musk’s longstanding dream of an “everything app”. Perhaps the idea is to have a language model as the front end, and Twitter as the foundation.
As for “WTF is he thinking”, he’s tried out different strategies. He called for regulation, he started Neuralink, he cofounded OpenAI, he denounced woke AI, he called for a moratorium.
The LLM race is continuing regardless; he’s never said AI is guaranteed doom, just that it’s dangerous; and he has never shied from trying to solve problems himself. So it looks like he’s decided to remain relevant by making Twitter (via X) a player in the LLM race, alongside Google (Anthropic), Microsoft (OpenAI), and Meta/Facebook (Meta AI).
