Elon Musk calls OpenAI ‘evil’ after they encourage exclusive investments

Elon Musk called OpenAI “evil” after the tech giant asked investors for exclusive arrangements that would prevent them from investing in competitors such as Musk’s xAI. OpenAI, makers of generative artificial intelligence ChatGPT, have just secured a further $6.6 billion in funding from companies such as Microsoft, Nvidia, and Thrive Capital, among others. Speaking to Reuters, an insider stated that OpenAI requested that its investors not also invest in five rival companies: Anthropic, who recently announced a new enterprise feature for their LLM Claude; Glean, an AI org specifically targeting enterprise users; Perplexity, who have developed a new tool to turn research into content; Safe Superintelligence, which was founded by former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever; and xAI, owned by Elon Musk and which recently launched one of the world’s most powerful training clusters. After this request (which was not legally binding) was reported, Elon Musk took to social media platform X to call the company “evil”. OpenAI is evil — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) October 2, 2024 This is not the first time Musk and OpenAI have clashed.
