"OpenAI CEO Sam Altman privately texted Shivon Zilis, one of Elon Musk's closest confidantes, to ask whether he should post a complimentary message about Musk on X - days before he did just that, according to a newly filed court document. The message, disclosed in Musk's case against Altman and OpenAI and filed in federal court last Friday, shows Altman reaching out to Zilis on February 9, 2023, seeking advice on whether to publicly praise Musk."
"The message sheds light on how Altman tried to repair his relationship with Musk, who had grown increasingly critical of OpenAI - the company the two helped launch in 2015 with a shared mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. It suggests that Altman sought to smooth things over by publicly acknowledging Musk's early role in the company."
Sam Altman texted Shivon Zilis on February 9, 2023, asking whether he should tweet something complimentary about Elon Musk. Less than a week later, Altman posted on X praising Musk for raising collective ambition during waning optimism. The message appears in filings from Musk's lawsuit against Altman and OpenAI and was produced by Zilis's legal team as Exhibit 35. The exchange indicates Altman sought to repair a damaged relationship after Musk grew more critical of OpenAI. Zilis is described as a close Musk confidante and a Neuralink operations director.
