Elon Musk engaged in an online debate with Chess.com, an online chess website, on the X platform. The two sides激烈 debated core issues such as whether chess can be completely solved by artificial intelligence and the number of chess games. Musk claimed that the number of legal chess positions is on the order of 40 times the number of atoms in the universe, and asserted that superintelligence could solve this problem; Chess.com argued that the number of chess games might far exceed the number of atoms in the universe, stating that it involves all “games” rather than just “positions.” Both sides repeatedly responded to each other’s statements, and Musk eventually mocked himself for arguing with the website’s random employees. It is worth noting that xAI’s Grok 4, under Musk’s ownership, lost to OpenAI’s o3 model in a chess competition in 2025, and he had previously closed the Tesla employee chess championship.
