Elon Musk admitted that Anthropic, which rivals his very own SpaceXAI, is the front-runner in the artificial intelligence space, as a series of advanced models have been released by major AI players.

Musk made the surprising statement in response to a user’s X post, saying he could “kill” Anthropic if he wanted to do so. The tech mogul said he does not intend to do that, reflecting his competitive philosophy.
