Elon Musk attempted a massive $97.4 billion purchase of OpenAI, which he co-founded but later criticized for deviating from its original mission. His frustrations stem from OpenAI's shift towards closed-source models, contrary to its initial open-source principles. Despite his critiques, Musk’s own AI startup, xAI, has followed a similar path, releasing only its first AI model as open source while keeping subsequent models closed. This contradiction raises questions around the evolving definition of ‘open source’ in the realm of AI and casts Musk's integrity into doubt.
"Musk has repeatedly excoriated OpenAI and its leadership for refusing to open source its AI models, yet his own xAI startup has only open sourced its first model."
"Musk's actions highlight a glaring double standard, as OpenAI's board rejected his $97.4 billion bid for the nonprofit controlling the organization he cofounded."
