The mysterious buyer of storage space at Oracle turns out to be none other than Elon Musk. The CEO of Tesla and Twitter needs storage space to experiment with AI.

It’s always a bit of a guess with Elon Musk as to exactly what he’s up to, but it seems he’s ready to jump into the artificial intelligence hype. After registering a new company under the name X.AI, Musk gradually accumulates all the necessary technological resources. He already had 10,000 GPUs in his pocket, and now he has also bought the necessary server capacity from cloud provider Oracle to park all the data.

Exactly how much Musk bought wasn’t disclosed, but the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this week that a “silent buyer” bought up all of Oracle Cloud Infrastructure’s excess server capacity. So if you’re hoping to snag a server from Oracle, you’re out of luck. Finally, training an AI model requires a lot of data that needs to be assigned a place. Musk’s mysterious project doesn’t seem to be a humble hobby project either.

The CEO of Tesla, SpaceX and Twitter has announced his intention to compete with Microsoft and Google. According to Musk, there is a need for a third superpower. These plans must take shape over the coming weeks and months. Musk has a history in the AI ​​industry: he was the founder of OpenAI. Personal revenge could also play a role in Musk’s plans.
