- Meta's AI chief Yann LeCun is an award-winning computer scientist.
- But Elon Musk says he isn't impressed with LeCun's scientific work.
- LeCun seemed entertained by the exchange, which he says he engaged in while on a transatlantic flight.
Meta's AI chief, Yann LeCun, might have won a Turing Award for his contributions to computer science, but Elon Musk doesn't seem too impressed with his work.
The Tesla and SpaceX CEO spent a chunk of his Memorial Day holiday volleying jibes at LeCun after the latter mocked Musk's attempt to recruit workers for his AI startup, xAI.
"What 'science' have you done in the past 5 years?" Musk asked LeCun in an X post on Monday.

"That's nothing, you're going soft. Try harder!" Musk said in response.
