Elon Musk’s Newly Incorporated AI Company Has A Familiar Name – SlashGear

When it comes to Musk’s businesses, the letter X crops up a lot. The most obvious example is Space X, but the letter is also the name Musk has given to his proposed “everything app.” While details of what the app will be able to do are pretty scarce, it is possible to make an educated guess about some of the features.

Social media network Twitter, which cost Musk $44 billion late last year, is expected to be central to Musk’s new app. In addition to posting and browsing on the social media site, users may also be able to use the app to chat with and video call friends. Payments services could be integrated and — knowing Musk — they may also be able to do something with cryptocurrency. Musk’s companies’ products are also likely to feature on the app. The current Tesla app is a powerful tool for vehicle owners and can be used to unlock, update, and manage their cars. Some of Starlink’s functions are also app-based. 

Given its dynamic nature, AI has the ability to slip seamlessly into an “everything app.” It will be particularly useful if the app has search engine-like functions. Microsoft is already using a version of ChatGPT in its new version of the Bing search engine, while Google has launched a beta version of Bard in an attempt to keep pace with its rivals.
