Sam Altman’s OpenAI eyes X-like social media platform to compete with Elon Musk: Report

Amid the very public feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, OpenAI is reportedly building its own social media platform like X (formerly known as Twitter). People aware of the matter told The Verge that the project is in early stages, with an internal prototype based on ChatGPT’s viral image generation feature, Studio Ghibli, that “melted the company’s GPU”.

As per a report by The Verge, Sam Altman has been discreetly collecting feedback from users on the project. While it remains unclear whether the platform will debut as a standalone app or be integrated into ChatGPT, the move signals OpenAI’s expanding ambitions beyond its AI and research lab, and into the social media space.
