Elon Musk has once again stirred up the tech world . After founding xAI and launching the Grok model, the tech billionaire continued to announce Macrohard - a "pure AI software company", whose name is both sarcastic and shows the ambition to compete directly with the giant Microsoft.

What's special: Macrohard is operated entirely by artificial intelligence, without any human staff.

The world's first "employee-free" company

Elon Musk announced the new company's name Macrohard as a play on Microsoft ( micro → macro, soft → hard ). However, Macrohard is not just a funny idea. On August 1, 2025, this brand was officially registered at the USPTO, proving the seriousness and long-term nature of Musk's plan.

The most shocking point of Macrohard is that there will be no human employees . All work from coding, testing, interface design to marketing will be handled by a multi-agent AI system.

These AI agents simulate the way a traditional software corporation operates: there are "engineers", "tester", "designer", "product manager", and they even test themselves in a simulated environment before launching the actual product.

To realize his bold idea, Macrohard relied on the Colossus (or Colossus 2) supercomputer infrastructure. located in Memphis. Musk revealed that this system can use up to millions of NVIDIA GPUs , becoming the world's most powerful AI training and operating center if true as announced.

The "threat" of intellectual workers

Microsoft currently dominates office software and AI applications with Windows, Office, Azure, and Copilot. With Macrohard, Musk wants to redefine how software is made, Fully automated instead of needing tens of thousands of engineers.

On X, Musk even called out: "Any good engineers, join xAI and Macrohard. Microsoft is no longer the future of AI."

The birth of Macrohard is not only technological but also causes social controversy. Many experts warn: if successful, Macrohard can replace millions of jobs in the IT industry , especially in outsourcing and software service companies.

The international press calls it "the first autonomous AI company," both a leap forward and a threat to knowledge workers.

Macrohard is not separate but is expected to connect to xAI and Grok , turning into an "application software version" of the AI system developed by Musk.

With its bold idea, shocking name and ambition to compete directly with Microsoft, Macrohard can become a historical hit or just stop at being a "crazy" experiment of Elon Musk. But certainly, it is making the whole technology world watch.
