Troubled billionaire Elon Musk was one of the earliest and biggest investors in OpenAI, but in the years since the company’s founding, he severed ties. Not one to be left out, Musk launched his own AI through X, the website formerly known as Twitter that he seems hellbent on destroying. He calls his robot Grok, and made his engineers imbue it with Musk’s particular sense of “humor.” Altman took to X to mock the product’s “dad joke” sensitivity, prompting Musk to spend the next few days insulting Altman and OpenAI.
