Nevada - Billionaire Elon Musk incorporated a new artificial intelligence company in Nevada before calling on AI labs to "immediately pause" production.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Musk is listed as the sole director of X.AI Corp, which plans to sell 100 million public shares.

On March 30, Musk joined a formidable group of tech experts in signing an open letter asking AI developers to pause their efforts for six months in favor of a dialog to explore the dangers of computers replacing humans in the workforce.

"Unfortunately, this level of planning and management is not happening, even though recent months have seen AI labs locked in an out-of-control race to develop and deploy ever more powerful digital minds that no one - not even their creators - can understand, predict, or reliably control," the letter said.

Musk’s AI company filed its paperwork in Nevada on March 9.

Fox News announced Friday that Musk will join host Tucker Carlson for a two-part interview airing next week. Among the things the two right-wing provocateurs will discuss is "artificial intelligence and how it could change the planet forever," the network said.

Musk is known to spread disinformation on Twitter - the social media platform he purchased for $44 billion in October. He was admonished as "reckless and irresponsible" by San Francisco Mayor London Breed this week after conflating the alleged targeted killing of tech entrepreneur Bob Lee and street crimes committed by "repeat violent offenders."

Little is known about Musk’s new AI company. His Twitter account, where the world’s second-wealthiest man frequently indulges in sophomoric humor, responds to press inquiries with a poop emoji.

He flippantly tweeted Monday Twitter needs a new "VP of Propaganda."
