Background: Musk vs. OpenAI
Elon Musk was one of the co-founders of OpenAI but left the organization in 2018. Since then, he has been a vocal critic of the AI company, accusing it of deviating from its original mission and becoming too commercialized under Microsoft’s influence. Musk even filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming the company betrayed its non-profit roots.
Altman’s Response
In his latest remarks, Altman dismissed Musk’s criticisms, suggesting that Musk’s attacks stem from personal unhappiness rather than genuine concerns about AI development. This marks one of Altman’s most direct responses to Musk’s repeated allegations.
