OpenAI CEO Sam Altman expressed disappointment in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company, saying he expected Musk to have more empathy considering his own ambitious endeavors with SpaceX. Musk had accused OpenAI of violating its nonprofit mission, but Altman stated that Musk himself had previously expressed interest in turning OpenAI into a for-profit company. Altman and others, including early OpenAI backer Vinod Khosla, found Musk's lawsuit and behavior to be unbecoming of a builder and expressed sadness over the situation. OpenAI and Musk have not yet commented on the matter.

This came after he saw a tweet pointing out that the DOJ's hiring for a Recreational Specialist position at the Bureau of Prisons was restricted to US citizens. Musk found the situation ironic, especially considering that the DOJ had previously sued his company SpaceX, led by him, for allegedly favoring US citizens and permanent residents over refugees in its hiring process. He humorously expressed his reaction by tweeting, "Roflmao...the irony is too much."

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been leaning towards the right politically since taking control of Twitter. He now uses his platform to promote conservative themes and conspiracy theories. There have been rumors that Musk may support former US president Donald Trump's bid to regain the White House, but he has denied donating money to either candidate. Other Silicon Valley figures, like Marc Andreessen, are also shifting towards conservative causes and fighting against progressive priorities like equality and workplace inclusiveness.
