What other amazing things did Elon "jump start"? Did he also invent the internet, the wheel, fire?
"In December 2015, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Infosys, and YC Research announced[22] the formation of OpenAI and pledged over $1 billion to the venture. The actual collected total amount of contributions was only $130 million until 2019."

"In fact, while the source of much of OpenAI’s funding remains unclear, filings contain only around $15 million of donations that can be traced definitively back to Musk."

- what 3y agoI’m not sure what your point is? Your quote lists nine entities pledging $1B. Only $130M was collected, $15M surely being from Musk. So he contributed at least 11.5%, which is in line with nine entities contributing. How much money can be traced back to Altman or Brockman, who are also on that list?
