Trump Posts Not-So-Subtle Boast About 'Super Intelligence' Victory Over Elon Musk
President Trump is notching up victories in his private war against the term “artificial intelligence.” Perhaps his biggest win yet is a series of X posts from Elon Musk early Sunday morning declaring that Super Intelligence is a “better” term, and that he intends to rename SpaceXAI “SpaceXSI.” Trump clearly doesn’t want the world to miss Musk’s surrender, so he screenshotted the first post in the series and posted it on Truth Social without comment on Sun

A hotly anticipated trial starts this week, where Elon Musk will attempt to prove that OpenAI, under Sam Altman, has abandoned its mission to remain a nonprofit in order to ensure that artificial intelligence serves humanity, and not just billionaires. Many view the lawsuit as a grudge match between Musk—who left OpenAI after serving as an early major donor and advisor—and Altman—who currently runs OpenAI, despite insiders’ allegedly growing distrust in hi
