Musk says others share story of costly Mac Studio purchase for open-source AI

Elon Musk replies "Many such stories" on X to a post describing a friend who spent over $100,000 on two Mac Studios to run open-source AI models.

According to the quoted account, the friend found those models less useful than a closed model costing $200 per month. Musk's reply does not add figures or details beyond the quoted account, and the post does not name the friend or the models.
