How much do you think Musk values X being a viable independent business vs using it accelerate X AI? I would expect Musk values the first as approximately 0 value, and the second as being 100% of the value. So it makes total sense to exploit the fact that X and X AI are the same company.
That's a good point. Other than Meta, X (AI) is the only AI company that "generates" it's own training data and we haven't really seen Musk trying to increase X revenue, of trying to run it cheaper.
