A glimpse into Sam Altman's 2-hour-long bid to look like the saner, less chaotic foil to Elon Musk

Mar 19, 2024 - businessinsider.com
Sam Altman, in a recent interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, praised Elon Musk, calling him "amazing" and one of the "great builders of our time". Altman's calm demeanor and compliments towards Musk contrasted with Musk's controversial interview with former CNN host Don Lemon, where Musk defended his ketamine use and controversial views on racism. Musk's interview was also marred by the abrupt cancellation of his show's partnership with his social media platform X, due to Musk being "apparently so upset" after the taping.

Altman and Musk, leaders of two competing AI organizations, are currently involved in a legal battle. Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Altman, accusing them of violating their nonprofit mission when they partnered with Microsoft. Altman responded to Musk's lawsuit and his demand to change the company's name to "ClosedAI", stating that it was "unbecoming" of Musk and that he misses "the old Elon".

Key takeaways:

  • Sam Altman and Elon Musk are currently involved in a legal battle, with Altman recently giving an interview where he praised Musk but also criticized his recent behavior.
