Elon Musk just laid out the future he's building toward — and when you connect the pieces, his companies stop looking like separate bets. xAI for intelligence, Neuralink for the human layer, SpaceX for reach, Tesla for physical automation, and X as the communications backbone. Each one launched looking standalone. Together, they start to look like a single, deliberate system.

Anthropic has been accused of overhyping AI risk to push regulation that conveniently disadvantages its rivals.
