Elon Musk Gives Google’s AI Video Tool a Thumbs Up

Tech billionaire Elon Musk has publicly praised Google’s latest artificial intelligence tool, Veo 3, calling it ‘awesome.’ Musk’s positive reaction came after Demis Hassabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind, introduced Veo 3 at the Google I/O 2025 event earlier this week.

Veo 3: A Game Changer in Video Generation

Veo 3 is making waves in the world of AI with its impressive ability to create realistic, high-quality videos complete with audio. This includes background sounds and effects, as well as spoken dialogue, making the videos feel incredibly lifelike. Some clips generated by Veo 3 have even gone viral, leaving viewers wondering if they’re watching real footage or something created entirely by AI.

Musk’s Praise and Hassabis’ Response

Musk’s simple yet enthusiastic response to Hassabis’s post was, ‘It is awesome. Nice work.’ Hassabis returned the compliment with a warm ‘Thanks Elon.’

Beyond Entertainment: Veo 3’s Potential for Research

Hassabis also shared his thoughts on Veo 3, calling it ‘mindblowing’ for its ability to understand the physical world. He believes tools like Veo 3 could be invaluable for researchers looking to gain a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

Musk’s Past Praise and Criticism of Google AI

This isn’t the first time Musk has praised Google’s Veo models. He previously expressed appreciation for Veo 2 as well. However, he has been openly critical of other aspects of Google’s AI work, particularly its Gemini model, which he accused of bias.

The AI Race Heats Up

While Musk is lauding Google’s advancements, he’s also busy with his own AI company, xAI. The company is reportedly planning a massive investment to build one of the world’s largest computing setups using one million GPUs near Memphis. This move could significantly benefit companies like Nvidia as the competition in the AI field intensifies.
