Twitter CEO Elon Musk provides insight on the consequences of developing artificial intelligence and the potential impact on elections on'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' Twitter CEO and tech billionaire Elon Musk told Tucker Carlson that AI will likely have a "significant influence" on future elections, and called on the U.S. government to establish some level of oversight to sensibly regulate the rapidly emerging technology.
