Elon Musk Announces Plans for “Maximum Truth-Seeking AI” — Truth GPT
Key Takeaways
- Elon Musk isn’t happy about the state of AI development, believing it should be regulated and free from ‘bias’ and ‘political correctness’
- In an interview with Tucker Carlson Tonight, Musk stated his desire to create his own AI model on response to this, calling it Truth GPT
- Right now this seems like a pipe dream rather than an active project, though with Elon Musk, you never know
After taking over Twitter and announcing it would become the ‘free speech’ social media platform, Elon Musk has stated similar ambitions in the world of AI.
Just this week, Musk has revealed on Tucker Carlson Tonight that he would like to release his own AI software to rival OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s DeepMind, calling it TruthGPT. Musk has raised concerns about the political correctness being exhibited in current AI language models, and wants to create a “maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe.”
AI is moving fast, and it’s a real challenge for investors to stay on top of which companies are in the box seat to take advantage of it. Rather than spend all your free time keeping up to date, why not let AI do it for you?
That’s what Q.ai’s Emerging Tech Kit does, using AI to analyze and predict the performance of a wide range of assets like tech stocks and ETFs, automatically rebalancing every week based on these projections.

Musk’s views on AI
Elon Musk has been outspoken in his concerns over AI. He and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak were signatories to an open letter asking for regulators to implement a six month pause on AI development, over worries about the technology becoming too powerful.
The letter stated that more powerful AI models should only be developed “once we are confident that their effects will be positive and their risks will be manageable.”
In this vein, Musk stated in this recent interview that he believes there should be a government regulatory body for AI, much like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aviation and aerospace.
And as an outspoken proponent of free speech, Musk also believes that current AI models are “being trained to be politically correct, which is simply another way of … saying untruthful things.”
He expressed his desire to create his own AI language model, supposedly without any inherent bias or political leanings. Other than suggesting a name for the project — TruthGPT — few additional details were offered.
The takeaway for investors
It’s another development in the ongoing ‘AI Wars.’ We’ve already got all the biggest names in tech in the mix, with Microsoft investing $10 billion into Open AI, Google’s Bard and DeepMind and Workspace integration and Amazon and Adobe launching their own generative AI programs.
With Elon Musk potentially weighing in, it has the potential to add even more complexity to the situation from an investment standpoint. Right now, there’s no telling which companies are going to come out on top, and which are going to be left behind in the AI race.
The bottom line
AI looks to be one of the most disruptive pieces of technology we’ve ever seen. Some companies are going to make billions of dollars of it, and savvy investors could stand to profit big.
For investors who want to ‘find the truth’ on which to invest in, Q.ai’s Emerging Tech Kit is well worth a look. It takes the guesswork out of it, using AI to automatically rebalance your portfolio on a weekly basis.
