Silicon Valley moguls are weighing in on Elon Musk's battle with OpenAI and it's getting cattier than a 'Real Housewives' reunion

Business Insider · 1y

Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, accusing them of violating their nonprofit mission by partnering with Microsoft. This move didn't sit well with OpenAI's backer, Vinod Khosla, who criticized Musk for not staying committed and engaging in a rival effort. Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen also took shots at Khosla, accusing him of lobbying to ban open source. Musk has been critical of Altman's leadership and stated that OpenAI has deviated from its original purpose of being an open-source, nonprofit company. Altman and his team believe Musk's grievances stem from regrets about not being involved with the company.
