Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman: One is clearly winning the nastiest battle in tech

Business Insider · 8m

Elon Musk's ongoing feud with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has garnered significant attention. Musk recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of breaching their founding agreement. PR experts believe that Musk has the upper hand in the court of public opinion due to his influential reputation and prior controversy. Altman and OpenAI, on the other hand, are seen as having more to lose in this battle. Despite legal experts suggesting Musk's lawsuit may be dismissed, it has allowed him to gain media attention and position his own rival AI startup, xAI, as a major player in the market. The clash between the two high-profile CEOs has put OpenAI under scrutiny and raised concerns about disruptions to the company. While some experts argue that Musk's actions portray him in a negative light, Altman has managed to handle the situation diplomatically, which has garnered him positive attention. The public release of personal emails by OpenAI indicates their determination to fight back against Musk's claims.
