Elon Musk's Power Struggle with OpenAI

Elon Musk reportedly proposed taking over OpenAI entirely in 2018, but was rejected by the nonprofit's co-founders and CEO. Musk subsequently left the board and stopped funding the project, causing a budget shortfall. OpenAI has since pivoted to a for-profit model and signed a $1 billion partnership with Microsoft. Musk has criticized the company's closed-door attitude and has limited its access to Twitter's database. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called Musk a "jerk" but acknowledged his concern for the future of artificial general intelligence. Musk is reportedly in talks to create his own alternative to OpenAI's ChatGPT.
