“Skill issue or …”: OpenAI CEO Sam Altman roasts Elon Musk over Twitter algorithm

Sam Altman brutally trolled Elon Musk on Tuesday, dismissing the X, formerly Twitter, owner’s complaints about low engagement as a “skill issue” before challenging him to sign a legal affidavit about algorithm manipulation. The exchange erupted after Musk threatened to sue Apple for allegedly rigging App Store rankings against his AI company xAI in favor of OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

Altman fired the first shot, responding to Musk’s Apple accusations: “This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn’t like.”
