    I’m a bit out of the loop but if I understand correctly Altman contacted Musk a few years ago to discuss AI. They decided to create OpenAI so there is an open source alternative to Google for AI.

    Then Altman saw that there was too much money at stake and decided to just go for profit all the way?

      There was a falling out between them after the board picked altman instead of Elon as ceo.

      Now Elon is suing openai nominally because there renegging on the whole non profit thing, but really because he has his own xai that is competition and because of the grudge because he’s a petty manchild.
