According to Jason Kwon (@jasonkwon) on X, a recent discussion clarified that Elon Musk intended his AI projects to be for-profit, a fact highlighted in an interview and acknowledged by both the reporter and Kwon (source: https://x.com/jasonkwon/status/2013184587862569087). This confirmation underscores a significant trend in the AI industry, where major players are shifting from open, non-profit models to for-profit, commercial strategies to capture market share and accelerate AI innovation. The move reflects growing competition in monetizing large language models and generative AI technologies, opening up new business opportunities for startups and established firms seeking to leverage proprietary models and sustainable revenue streams.
