Reported details from a White House dinner: OpenAI president Greg Brockman was asking both Elon Musk and Sergey Brin for compute.
Musk called him out publicly: "Dude, you stole my charity! You can't be a huge dick then ask for favors, hello?" — a jab tied to their lawsuit history. Brin piled on: "He was asking me for compute too. How many grown men do you know that keep a diary? If I did I'd burn it," referencing Brockman's famous 2010s diary that surfaced in Musk's 2024 lawsuit against Sam Altman.
