Elon Musk Predicts A.I. Will Launch Preemptive Strike That Begins WW3

May be initiated not by the country leaders, but one of the AI's, if it decides that a prepemptive strike is most probable path to victory

Elon Musk is either privy to some really disturbing technology that the rest of us can’t even begin to fathom or he is desperately crying out for help by advertising his recurring nervous meltdowns over social media.
In his latest frightening/entertaining (depending on one’s viewpoint) tweet storm, Elon predicts that artificial intelligence will be the “most likely cause of WW3” and that robots may actually initiate the outbreak of a global war if they decide that a “prepemptive strike is most probable path to victory.”
“China, Russia, soon all countries w strong computer science. Competition for AI superiority at national level most likely cause of WW3 imo. May be initiated not by the country leaders, but one of the AI’s, if it decides that a prepemptive strike is most probable path to victory.”
