Isn't Musk a major investor in OpenAI? If he said "my data feeds chatgpt, not its competitors", that would make sense, right?

- zeven7 3y agoHe's been somewhat critical of OpenAI. Specifically the part about it pivoting to a for-profit business. > I’m still confused as to how a non-profit to which I donated ~$100M somehow became a $30B market cap for-profit. If this is legal, why doesn’t everyone do it? https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1636047019893481474 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1636047019893481474 > I donated the first $100M to OpenAI when it was a non-profit, but have no ownership or control https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1639142924985278466 https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1639142924985278466
- wahnfrieden 3y agoYou’re sharing lies. He donated $10 mil and talks it up 10x.
- zeven7 3y agoThere's a lot of lies in tweets. The point was: he's been disparaging OpenAI. It doesn't matter how much he donated or if he donated.
- irthomasthomas 3y agoIsn't the more important point that his consistent lying makes his disparagings unreliable as a signal?
- valval 3y agoCan you point out any of his lies?
- irthomasthomas 3y agoI assume you are joking. In case you aren't, start with the subject of this very thread ($100M claimed Vs $10M reality). Then work backwards through every claim he ever made about anything. Here's a collection of his top hits https://www.elonmusk.today/ https://www.elonmusk.today/
- yuuuuuuuu 3y ago> He's been somewhat critical of OpenAI. Specifically the part about it pivoting to a for-profit business. Because it was thereby starting to compete with his own for-profit. He was even asking for a moratorium for 6 months so his company could catch up.
- brabel 3y agoNo, he sold all (I think) of his shares long time ago apparently because of conflict of interest with Tesla.
- fleshdaddy 3y agoWasn’t in a non profit back then? Do they actually have shares? I thought part of the point is they don’t turn a profit to pay out to investors.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoHe had committed to providing funding to them and was on the board. Being on the board is indeed the only form of control in a non-profit. He tried to pressure them to make him a CEO, they refused, so he said "no money then, go bankrupt" and quit the board. They made a deal with Microsoft and survived. Now he's pissed.
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoHe tried to pressure them in 2020 to make him a CEO. They refused, so he pulled promised funding when they were on the brink of bankruptcy. They made a deal with Microsoft instead. Then in 2022, they blew up and Elon's been spitting venom at them ever since as he missed his chance.
