Sam Altman says Elon Musk did huge damage to OpenAI’s culture; claims he wanted to pass OpenAI’s control to his children
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has claimed that the co-founder Elon Musk wanted full control of the AI company, adding that he discussed the possibility of passing over the control to his children. Altman made these revelations on May 12 when he took the stand in the ongoing trial of a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk against OpenAI. In the lawsuit, Musk alleges that OpenAI moved away from its non-profit goals and the company founders ‘stole a charity’. When asked by Musk’s lawyer on what he thought of Musk’s allegations, Altman replied: “It feels difficult to even wrap my head around that framing”. After several seconds of silence, he continued “We created one of the largest charities in the world. This foundation is doing incredible work and will do much more.”
