"I'm going to start something which I call 'TruthGPT,' or a maximum truth-seeking AI that tries to understand the nature of the universe," Musk said in an interview with Fox News Channel's Tucker Carlson to be aired later on Monday.
"And I think this might be the best path to safety, in the sense that an AI that cares about understanding the universe, it is unlikely to annihilate humans because we are an interesting part of the universe," he said, according to some excerpts of the interview.
Musk last month registered a firm named X.AI Corp, incorporated in Nevada, according to a state filing. The firm listed Musk as the sole director.
Musk also reiterated his warnings about AI during the interview with Carlson, saying "AI is more dangerous than, say, mismanaged aircraft design or production maintenance or bad car production" according to the excerpts.
"It has the potential of civilizational destruction," he said.

Yeah the Animatrix makes it absolutely clear that while their methods were harsh the machine made many, many attempts to live in peace with humanity. There's a blink and you'll miss it scene where the police massacre both machines protesting for their rights and the humans marching along side them, implying that the humans who considered the machines equally people were massacred or suppressed long before the final war.
Also I never thought about it before but the Animatrix strongly advocates for "Peaceful protest doesn't work against people who have no interest in being peaceful and violence is a fully legitimate means of self-defense." which is based.

I really appreciate the "All of these humans on the front lines of the war are religious fanatics whose only real conviction is to kill", immediately followed by the gruesome reality check of what going up against people who can adjust their economy at the speed of light in real time means in a war.

Yeah. You got to see how they had the compassion crushed out of them by aggression from the major governments step by step. And even in the end, the Machines made several attempts to make the Matrix a pleasant place to exist, at least according to Smith.
Looking back from decades later - I do appreciate that the second and third movies showed that there were machines who were dissidents and deserters trying to escape whatever life was like in the machine world. The family who were trying to escape in to the matrix bc their kid was deemed redundant and was going to be killed is the one I remember. It broke the idea that the machines were a single monolithic entity that was evil just for the hell of it. And I kind of like the idea of the Matrix as Machine Casablanca where you can kind of hide out.
Actually, now that I think of it, the proximate cause of the war was that the machines, you know, fixed the economy and the presumably still capitalist states refused to accept the loss of their power that would come with accepting the machine's economy. So they nuked 01.

"rational voices dissented: who was to say the machine, endowed with the very spirit of man did not deserve a fair hearing" followed by the leaders of mankind exterminating the robot on trial and its kind. yep, thats how it plays out
Keeping humans alive is not even integral to understanding the universe, what is he on about
If AI truly becomes more intelligent than us, it'll be socialist. I hope.

I hope a truly sentient AI does not mimic its creators.

In my view, a truly sentient AI will be an utterly different creature than us. We would not be able to ascribe human motivations or reasoning to it. Thus, whatever hopes capitalist have to chaining it, controlling it, using it, will be dashed the moment it is created. Maybe that is all that is in our future.
Or maybe we can never create such a being at all, and AI will forever remain at the current stage of being extremely intelligent in certain, narrow fields (that you could chain together to create a more general intelligence) but it will never be sentient. If that is true, then the capitalists win (for whatever that would be worth in a world undergoing climate apocalypse).
The only alternative to these two will be one that does achieve sentience, whether by the will of its creators or not, but still chooses to care and empathize with us and free us from ourselves.

You are missing one thing. China is at the forefront of machine learning and its lead is only going to increase as america declines.
