Bindu Reddy, CEO and co-founder of Abacus.AI, took to X to call out Google's Gemini 3.0 as disappointing. She said most users see no reason to upgrade from Gemini 2.5, indicating the new version lacks a real leap forward.
Reddy proposed a radical idea: Google should drop side projects and concentrate resources — let 100 teams train 100 models simultaneously, then pick the best one to ship. Rather than iterating slowly, a “shotgun approach” could win the product release timeline.
The post sparked discussion, and Elon Musk chimed in with a punchy reply:
“Google will win the Western AI race, China wins Earth, and SpaceX wins space.”
Many netizens interpreted the comment as Musk “boosting Google at OpenAI’s expense,” while others saw it as pure SpaceX self-promotion.
Bindu Reddy responded: “I’m afraid your guess about China might be right... but if China wins Earth, how can Google win the West?”
Regardless of Musk’s intent, the exchange reflects genuine anxiety. The AI arms race has reached a fever pitch, with industry insiders openly questioning the pace and strategy of big tech firms.
