Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, on Tuesday, reaffirmed his belief that AI efforts undertaken by his enterprises will exceed rivals.

Elon Musk Has Taken On Entire Industries

In a post on the social media platform X, user Robert Scoble shared his take on the current AI race in the tech sector amid Nvidia Corp.‘s (NASDAQ:NVDA) GTC 2026 conference. “Everyone else in AI is at GTC,” he said, alluding to the event’s scale and importance in the sector.

“If SpaceX beats everyone in this industry that will be quite something,” he said, adding that Musk, on previous occasions, “took on entire industries” and “innovated” in fields they couldn’t.

Elon Musk Hails SpaceX, xAI

Responding to Scoble, Musk shared his views on the take by quoting a post he had previously made, where he outlined that xAI will have three separate Grok models in training simultaneously. “While others go to conferences, we study the blade,” he said, in an apparent jibe at Nvidia and other rivals.

Bullish On SpaceX, Terafab Efforts

These comments come as Musk had earlier said that SpaceX would "far exceed" rivals in AI, including Alphabet Inc.‘s (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google DeepMind. This comes despite a series of high-profile departures from his artificial intelligence startup xAI.

Meanwhile, Musk also hailed Tesla’s AI chip efforts, sharing that the EV giant would be kicking off its Terafab AI chip project shortly. The project is aimed at helping Tesla design its updated self-driving chip. Tesla has also hired AI chip designers in South Korea to build AI chips.

Nvidia’s GTC Conference

Chipmaker Nvidia shared a roadmap for the company’s AI efforts at the GPU Technology Conference, revealing that Tesla’s Chinese rivals BYD Co. Ltd. (OTC:BYDDY) (OTC:BYDDF) and Geely Automobile Holdings Ltd. (OTC:GELHY) (OTC:GELYF) would be incorporating Nvidia self-driving technology.

Company CEO Jensen Huang also shared that Nvidia is working on developing orbital datacenters, with its Space-1 Vera Rubin Module chip designed to carry out space-based AI compute.
