While Musk and Altman wage their silly little feud, China is making all the broligarchs look like chumps | Arwa Mahdawi
Briefly

The escalation of the feud between Elon Musk and Sam Altman, co-founders of OpenAI, has transformed into a public spectacle largely fueled by ego and rivalry. After Altman was recruited for a significant AI project involving Donald Trump and other tech giants, Musk intensified his criticisms, demonizing Altman. A controversial video of Altman discussing the social implications of AI has emerged, drawing scorn and speculation regarding the intentions of billionaires reshaping society through technology. This rivalry emphasizes the clash of influence among technology leaders and the societal scrutiny they face.
Their feud intensified last week after Musk's BFF, Donald Trump, recruited Altman for a $500bn project, which seems to have rattled Musk.
Altman mentioned, 'I still expect that there will be some change required to the social contract' regarding AI's impact on society.
The public spat between Musk and Altman reveals how tensions among tech elites can lead to a dramatic public backlash and scrutinized media portrayals.
Musk's criticisms of Altman, including calling him 'Swindly Sam', reflect personal animosities intertwining with overarching battles in the AI sector.
