Elon Musk had a busy day of AI commentary on X, revealing new information about Grok 5, making bold claims about xAI’s ā€˜Imagine’ generator, and speaking on AI and declining birthrates in a series of posts and replies on the platform.

As part of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI (alleging it ditched its founding mission, just to secure funding), OpenAI has accused Meta of coordinating with Musk over his bid to acquire the start-up. Back in February, Musk attempted to acquire OpenAI for $97B, and in June, OpenAI's lawyers—believing Meta was financially involved—tried to issue a subpoena to secure the documents that would prove it.
