Yes and no. Elon has ego, but I also take him at his word when he says he wants to open source AI. He did the same thing with Tesla's patents.

Did you read the article? According to it, Elon Musk agreed with AGI being closed source, but he wanted controlling interest.

Did you also take him at his word when he said 5+ years ago that Teslas can drive themselves safer than a human "today"? Or that Cybertruck has nuclear explosion proof glass (which was immediately shattered by a metal ball thrown lightly at it)? Musk has a long history of shamelessly lying when it suits his interest, so you should really really not take him at his word.

  Pointing out Elon Musk's claims regarding free speech and the shit show he's been forcing upon Twitter, not to mention his temper tantrum directed at marketing teams for ditching post-Musk Twitter due to fears their ads could showcase alongside unsavoury content like racist posts and extremism in general, should be enough to figure out the worth of Elon Musk's word and the consequences of Elon Musk's judgement calls.

I seem to remember that being only partially true? Or the license was weird and deceptive? Also as other replies have stated why isnt "Grok" open source? Musk loves to throw around terms like open source to generate good will but when it comes time to back those claims up it never happens. I wouldnt take Musk at his word for literally anything.

Didn't the stipulation for the patents require other automakers to share their patents as a condition of using Tesla patents? "I'd like some of your turkey please and in exchange I will offer this half eaten chicken bone."

  You mean like the GPL open source license?
