However, since the recent U.S. Presidential elections, relations between the two have soured again. Musk is reportedly not a fan of Altman and refuses to get in contact with him, due to ideological differences. The dispute between the two has also involved Microsoft, with Musk accusing OpenAI of aggressively recruiting AI talent and stifling competition.
Key takeaways:
- Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, recently spoke highly of his company’s cofounder Elon Musk, despite their past differences and ongoing legal disputes.
- Altman praised Musk's contributions to the tech world and his ambitious nature, and expressed belief in Musk's integrity in his new relationship with President-Elect Donald Trump.
- Musk appreciated Altman's comments and liked the post featuring Altman’s quote, despite the two having been in a legal dispute since 2018 when Musk left the board of OpenAI.
- Despite the recent positive comments, insiders report that Musk is not a fan of Altman and refuses to get in contact with him, likely due to ideological differences.
