At Musk's 2013 birthday bash, he and Larry Page discussed AI's role in humanity's future, per biographer Walter Isaacson's retelling.
Page labeled Musk a "specist," while Musk defended his views as "pro-human."
Musk even attempted to stop Google's acquisition of AI company DeepMind, saying Page shouldn't control the future of AI, Isaacson wrote in a Time Magazine report.
Per Isaacson, the reason behind the thwarting attempt was Musk's distrust of then-CEO of Google, Larry Page, and his views towards AI.
Musk, Page, and Google did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider, sent outside regular business hours.
