Why do you care if Musk was stolen from?



I care if OpenAI committed theft. Speaks to their character, especially Sam Altman.


Elon donates 15M of 1B he promised.

Elon demands full control of company.

OpenAI says no.

Elon leaves, reneges on his promise, and insists they will fail.

Can you please explain why people going on and on about this "stealing" narrative?


Oh Elon stole $985 million


Musk fans can see no wrong with anything he does. Kind of like the cult of Trump.


Which part is the "theft". They existed to make AI and behold, they did AI.

You can argue they didn't open-source it, as their name suggests, but they also were denied a billion of funding that Musk kept promising until they were literally out of money.

What they did was a matter of survival. Of course they're not blameless in their actions now. They're clearly building a very powerful business. But they were put in this position. It was either this, or OpenAI wouldn't exist.
