Elon Musk Criticizes Google's AI as 'Insane' and 'Racist', Stirring Election Conspiracy Theories

In a recent outburst, Elon Musk, the prolific entrepreneur known for his work with Tesla and SpaceX, has cast aspersions on Alphabet Inc.'s GOOG Google search engine. On Friday, Musk denounced the tech conglomerate's artificial intelligence technology, deeming it biased and 'racist.' This assault extends his criticisms toward the tech giant and appears to lend credence to conspiracy theories suggesting that Google may be attempting to influence the outcome of the upcoming 2024 election. This controversy arises amidst intense scrutiny regarding diversity issues in Alphabet's speculative Gemini AI image project, which has been put on hold.

About Alphabet Inc.

Alphabet Inc., domiciled in Mountain View, California, is an internationally recognized conglomerate that gained its stature following a strategic reorganization of Google on October 2, 2015. Taking the reins, Alphabet became the parent body to Google and its affiliate subsidiaries. Continued guidance under the company's original founders has allowed Alphabet to soar to the ranks of the fourth-largest tech company globally in revenue terms, making it one of the most substantially valued entities in the industry.

The Broadening Dispute with Google

Musk's condemnation of Google's AI and its perceived imperfections not only casts a shadow over the company's technological endeavors but also raises questions about the integrity of tech-facilitated processes in forthcoming elections. As such mutual contentions continue, they have a potential ripple effect on stakeholders of GOOG, impacting investor sentiments and raising contemplation about the robustness of corporate governance within the technological landscape. It remains to be seen how these discourses will shape the narrative of AI ethics and the political neutrality of tech giants like Alphabet Inc.
