‘Google will win the AI race’: Elon Musk makes rare admission, claims Grok will win in space

In a rare admission, SpaceX chief Elon Musk has admitted that its rival Google will win the AI race. However, Musk's admission comes with a caveat. The richest man on Earth notes that the tech giant will win the AI race but in the US while China will win the AI race on Earth and his own company will win it in space.

Musk was replying to a post by Bindy Reddy, CEO of Abacus AI and a former Google employee. Reddy had expressed frustration about the Gemini 3.0 model which didn't quite meet her expectations, making her rely on the Gemini 2.5 model instead. She also urged the Sundar Pichai led tech giant to run massive parallel experiments on training AI models to catch up in the AI race.

"Gemini 3.0 didn’t quite work out and most of us are still stuck with 2.5. Sometimes I don’t get it - what’s preventing Google from ditching all the side hustles and training 100 models from 100 teams in parallel" Reddy wrote in her post

In reply, Musk noted, "Google will win the AI race in the West, China on Earth and SpaceX in space"
