Musk and Huang Renxun speak out on the same day: strongly support Chinese AI

On July 27, news from : On July 25, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Tesla CEO Elon Musk both spoke out on the same day regarding China's AI development.

Jensen Huang stated that China is destined to produce outstanding AI technology and that the world should continue to learn from and cooperate with it. Elon Musk bluntly said that China is highly likely to become the leader in AI, and even if the US bans Chinese models, it cannot stop this.

Jensen Huang remarked that China's large models are outstanding, and excellent open-source large models should be utilized. Last time the market misunderstood the impact of DeepSeek, and this time it has misunderstood the impact of Kimi.

He believes that excellent open-source AI large models are highly beneficial to the entire industry, and the widespread adoption of large models like DeepSeek and Kimi will bring tremendous growth.

In an interview with The Economist, Elon Musk explicitly opposed the proposal by some US government officials to ban US companies from using Chinese AI models, arguing that such restrictions cannot slow down the pace of China's AI development.

One of the reasons he cited was electricity supply. According to Musk's estimate, China's power generation capacity may reach three times that of the US by 2026, sufficient to support the operation of energy-intensive AI data centers.

He also predicted that China will eventually overcome the shortage of advanced chips caused by US export controls through independent research and development of lithography machines, stating that China is "closer than most people think" to solving advanced lithography technology issues.

Musk reiterated that the overall intelligence level of AI might surpass the combined intelligence of all humans within five years, and within the next decade, as robots enter the workplace, society could enter a stage of "extreme abundance," diminishing the importance of currency.
