Says he was clearly wrong about Anthropic: it is currently the leader in AI, and no one has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable.

He said SpaceX's AI effort is 3 years old vs 6 and 10 for Anthropic and OpenAI; if the second derivative stays strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months. Extra intelligence past what's needed for a task is pointless; hardware/compute scale is hard and SpaceX is good at it.
"1. We will keep accelerating. Our AI efforts are only 3 years old, vs 6 and 10 years old for Anthropic and OpenAI. If our second derivative remains strong, SpaceX will reach pole position in about 6 months. 2. Once you far exceed the caliber of intelligence needed for a class of tasks, additional intelligence is pointless. You don’t need (and it would be cruel to put) Newton-level intelligence in your toaster! 3. Hardware is hard. Bringing massive compute online rapidly is incredibly difficult. SpaceX has demonstrated exceptional ability in this regard and will only get better."
