Elon Musk publicly stated he is not a fan of Sam Altman. He criticized OpenAI's transition from its original non-profit, open-source mission into a massive $800 billion closed-source for-profit entity, arguing it betrays the original intent of donors.
Musk also suggested that the Anthropic team departed OpenAI specifically because they did not trust Altman, implying Anthropic's existence is a direct result of that distrust.
