Elon Insists the Story Is About Him

Elon Musk was probably a bit relieved to find that Sam Altman was taking all the attention this week. The X/Twitter owner has been going through a rough patch after he agreed with an antisemitic post on his platform and lost a lot of advertisers. But Musk can only stand being out of the spotlight for so long and on Tuesday he shared an anonymous letter that was allegedly written by former OpenAI employees. The letter criticizes Altman’s leadership and alleges wrongdoing on many levels. It also asserts that Altman is driven by a seething grudge he holds against Musk who helped get OpenAI off the ground before stepping away in 2018.
