OpenAI CEO Sam Altmants reacted to Elon Musk's comments that the ChatGPT maker will ‘eat Microsoft alive’. In the immediate aftermath of OpenAI's GPT-5 launch, Musk had goen on state xAI's Grok-4's supremacy over the new model, followed by a warning to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella over the partnership with OpenAI. s
In an interaction with CNBC, Altman was asked what he thought about the remarks made by Musk.
“You know I don't think about him that much” Altman retorted
Asked about what he thinks about the idea that OpenAI will eat Microsoft alive, Altman replied, I thought he was just, like, tweeting all day about how much OpenAI sucks, and our model is bad, and, you know, we’re not gonna be a good company and all that. I don't know how you square up two things”
This is not the first time when Altman has reacted so sharply to Musk's comments. In an interaction earlier in the year, Alman said he didn't think Musk was a happy person.
"Elon's whole life is from a position of insecurity. I feel for the guy. I do actually. I don't think he's a happy person." the OpenAI CEO said.
Meanwhile, Nadella had also responded to Musk's tweet, writing, People have been trying for 50 years and that’s the fun of it! Each day you learn something new, and innovate, partner, and compete. Excited for Grok 4 on Azure and looking forward to Grok 5!
Musk and OpenAI's rocky history:
Notably, Musk and OpenAI go a long way with the billionaire being among the co-founders of the non-profit research lab in 2015. In the intervening years disagreements grew between the co-founders on how to lead the company and Musk eventually resigned from OpenAI board in 2018.
In due time, Microsoft became a major backer of OpenAI and the company tasted widespread success right from its first ever public AI model launch in late 2022.
Musk went on to found his own AI startup xAI thatof develops the Grok AI chatbot but continued to level allegations against OpenAI and its founders. The billionaire has also filed multiple lawsuits against OpenAI, one of which also includes Microsoft in it, claiming that OpenAI has breached its fundamental contract by taking in billions of dollars in funding to develop AI for the profit making motive rather than for the benefit of humanity.
