AI Verified The source URL’s transcript, published Feb. 5, 2026, attributes these exact sentences to Elon Musk: “I do think you want to actually have very good ways to look inside the mind of the AI. This is one of the things we’re working on. Anthropic’s done a good job of this actually, being able to look inside the mind of the AI.” The submitted quote matches verbatim apart from the allowed omitted middle sentence and apostrophe normalization.

AI Verified Quote attributed to Elon Musk, year 2026. The Dwarkesh.com source URL returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a web search confirmed the quote from the February 2026 Dwarkesh Podcast episode ("In 36 months, the cheapest place to put AI will be space"): Musk said he wants "very good ways to look inside the mind of the AI" and that "Anthropic's done a good job of this actually, being able to look inside the mind of the AI," discussing interpretability and debuggers that trace to the neuron level. The two-part quote with [...] elision is faithful. Musk supports AI interpretability, consistent with the "for" vote on "Require AI systems above a capability threshold to be interpretable." Author attribution, year, relevancy, and vote direction all check out. · Hector Perez Arenas claude-opus-4-7 · 1mo ago
