- At Musk's 2013 birthday bash, he and Larry Page discussed AI's role in humanity's future, per biographer Walter Isaacson's retelling.
- Page labeled Musk a "specist," while Musk defended his views as "pro-human."
- Musk even attempted to stop Google's acquisition of AI company DeepMind, saying Page shouldn't control the future of AI, Isaacson wrote in a Time Magazine report.
In the lead-up to Google's acquisition of DeepMind in 2014, Elon Musk tried to halt the deal and buy the AI company himself.
