Misleading headline - but after a few para's, the article pretty much admits that Musk & Co.'s actual "AI" goals are keeping their giant egos on top of the white-hot hype heap, and keeping their $billions flowing. Either credibly defining intelligence, or focusing on building something that qualifies, would run contrary to those goals.
