Musk's criticisms extend to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, which he has recently targeted at companies like Disney. He, along with other billionaires like Bill Ackman, argue that these initiatives discriminate against white men and harm businesses. Musk, who has launched his own AI startup, xAI, is estimated to be worth $207.5 billion, making him the world's second richest person.
Key takeaways:
- Elon Musk criticized Google's AI business, claiming it is biased and 'racist.' He also suggested that Google is working to rig the 2024 election.
- Musk's criticisms came after Google's Gemini AI image generator was found to be creating misleading historical images displaying a variety of genders and ethnicities in historically inaccurate contexts.
- Musk also criticized diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, claiming they discriminate against white men and harm businesses. He has previously expressed similar sentiments about Disney's DEI initiatives.
- Musk, who has his own AI startup, xAI, has positioned his ventures as less 'woke' and more politically neutral than rival firms. He has also publicly feuded with fellow OpenAI cofounder and CEO Sam Altman over the decision to abandon the original nonprofit model.
