Tesla CEO Elon Musk on future of AI-powered gadgets: ‘Devices will just be…’

Elon Musk has once again shared his vision of how artificial intelligence will shape the future of technology. Responding to a post on X (formerly Twitter), which suggested that xAI’s long-term plan is to function as an “edge node” running AI inference to generate pixels and audio—eliminating the need for a traditional operating system or apps—Musk said the prediction was “easy” to make. His latest comments underline his belief that AI will fundamentally transform the way people use devices, making them less about apps and more about direct interaction with intelligent systems.

“xAI’s long term plan is to be a edge node running AI inference to generate pixels and audio. No more traditional OS or apps but just AI rendering everything directly,” wrote an X user.
