Google will win the AI race, says Elon Musk
19 Mar 2026


In a rare admission, Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has acknowledged that Google will win the artificial intelligence (AI) race. However, his statement comes with a caveat.

Musk said that while Google may win in the US, China would dominate on Earth and SpaceX would take the lead in space.

The tech mogul's comments came as a response to Bindu Reddy's post about Google's Gemini 3.0 model not meeting expectations.

Reddy, a former Google employee and current CEO of Abacus AI, expressed her disappointment with the performance of Gemini 3.0.

She said that many people are still using the older version, Gemini 2.5, due to its shortcomings.

Reddy also urged Sundar Pichai-led Google to conduct large-scale parallel experiments on training AI models in order to keep pace in this competitive field.
