Blogger Argues xAI May Win the AI Race Thanks to Musk's Real-World Data Moat

The author argues xAI could ultimately win the AI race because Musk controls more real-world-interfacing terminal businesses than anyone else, and data collected from these devices is the driving force of AI progress.
He extends the argument: AI limited to the internet has a capped upside in a robot-dominated future, and interaction will evolve from typing and voice to neural signals — a linkage only Musk's ecosystem could plausibly deliver.
