Amazon has their own (terrible) models, and they (along with Microsoft) sell a ton of options on their platforms.
Anthropic has a ton of investors including Google.
There are no clear lines here. It’ll be interesting to see how long all these companies will keep funding massive models vs rely on their partners.
There don't need to be. Tech giants are competing much less than people want to believe - and especially here, I think we're in the "hold my beer" one-upping phase. Everyone involved is better off running a friendly race and helping each other out, as this rapidly improves AI tech for everyone. Eventually, when improvements start to dry out, battle lines will be drawn and the players will start using the world as fuel and ammunition for their fight. But we're not there yet.

His successes earn more than his failures cost, but even he knows he's over-optimistic.
Way too many idealists out there. Make money and get out of the rat race.
Are we just ignoring the bushels of money that Tesla has made investors?
But if there's anything he's proven it's that he can ship product. Tesla cars are phenomenal. xAI looks exactly like what Tesla looked like in 2010. Far too futuristic & optimistic timelines that peers & laypersons would characterize as fluffy grandiose snake-oil.
But I bet they will ship. And it won't be fluffy nor snake-oil.

Different to "guaranteed to ship every product to 100% success".
Let's try "Musk has proved he can ship more than one entirely unrelated product to the scale that it influences an entire industry", which is different to many people who have shipped a single product. It shows that he's either ridiculously lucky, and/or has significant skill in this area.
He's very annoying, but the man can ship.
When the same thing happened to Taylor Swift, people were quick to rally to her defense and call out her observers as bad actors.
Even a bill was signed into law in May in response that allows for anonimization of registrations, making such tracking essentially impossible.
I'm not a Musk fan but it's a weird hill for people who claim are not Musk haters to die on.
Flight traffic is public info. You can't censor it because it's being broadcast over FCC-regulated channels that anyone can correlate for themselves. Lo and behold, an aggravated college student ends up being the person to make a bot that automates the process. And now Elon is pissing himself like he doesn't know how to... *checks notes* not use a private jet?
Also I don't use Twitter, but Taylor Swift didn't ruin a bunch of people's favorite app, for one.

Some lot of good that does. If you know the airport that Elon departs from and you can correlate his public departures, it would be trivial to re-identify the plane's anonymized callsign. Again, this is all public info and the best you can do is try to hide from people that call out your jet-setting.
