To be fair to OpenAI, Musk determined that OpenAI had irreparably lost the race to Google and proposed that he be made CEO [0]. Musk's public complaints about OpenAI being profitable were years[1] after he had decided to abandon OpenAI. > But in early 2018, Musk told Sam Altman, another OpenAI founder, that he believed the venture had fallen fatally behind Google, people familiar with the matter said. > And Musk proposed a possible solution: He would take control of OpenAI and run it himself. > Altman and OpenAI’s other founders rejected Musk’s proposal. Musk, in turn, walked away from the company — and reneged on a massive planned donation. The fallout from that conflict, culminating in the announcement of Musk’s departure on Feb 20, 2018, would shape the industry that’s changing the world, and the company at the heart of it.
