Technik·29.4.2026KI-Zusammenfassung Musk Testifies Page Called Him 'Speciest' for Warning AI Could Wipe Out Humanity
Elon Musk testified in his lawsuit against OpenAI that his falling out with Google's Larry Page stemmed from a conversation where Musk raised the prospect of AI wiping out humanity and Page shrugged it off as 'fine' so long as AI survived. Page called Musk a 'speciest' for being 'pro human,' while Musk called the attitude 'insane.' The once-close friends were included on Fortune's 2016 list of secretly best-friend business leaders, with Musk regularly crashing at Page's Palo Alto home. The friendship ended when Musk recruited Google AI star Ilya Sutskever to help launch OpenAI in 2015, which Page felt was a personal betrayal.
