Sam Altman Calls Elon Musk a Bully but Open to Future Collaboration
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman described Elon Musk as a 'bully' but expressed willingness to collaborate despite their ongoing legal disputes and public disagreements. Both were once allies involved in founding OpenAI, but their relationship has since deteriorated, leading to conflicts over the organisation's direction. Altman emphasized that standing up to Musk is sometimes necessary and believes Musk respects those who challenge him. The two remain key figures in AI development amid calls for industry cooperation on AI safety.
