My reason to consider using this is that he’s the only significantly wealthy person fighting for equal AI access, when everyone else is building closed models and pushing for regulatory capture. I think he’s honest in recognizing the threat of having a few tech companies or few countries controlling our world through AI. Google’s Gemini was a preview of how the few big players might abuse their power and inject the bias of their employees into the AI influenced world this is becoming. I am not a tech oligarch but a random person, so choice and competition seem good to me?

Doesn't seem very authentic to the open source ethos to open source your weights right after you sued someone for not doing exactly that. I think he's very good at framing his motivations as "for the common good." One should be highly speculative of anyone who hordes wealth and also tries to come off that way, SBF is a great example. One should also be highly speculative of "Open Source" projects that also do this, OpenAI is a great example of this along with thousands of other projects who use "open source" as a way to market their commercial products. This is America baby, there is no such thing as a free lunch and Musk is going to get that lunch money.
