What's the story
In a rare admission, Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has acknowledged that Google will win the artificial intelligence (AI) race. However, his statement comes with a caveat. Musk said that while Google may win in the US, China would dominate on Earth and SpaceX would take the lead in space. The tech mogul's comments came as a response to Bindu Reddy's post about Google's Gemini 3.0 model not meeting expectations.
