Elon Musk Throws Tech Tantrum Over ‘Swindler of the Century’
The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, has pilloried tech industry rival and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman amid reports that the latter’s artificial intelligence non-profit is weighing a moneymaking turn.
Reuters reported Wednesday that the ChatGPT maker is working on plans to shift to a for-profit benefit corporation and remove control from its non-profit board.
Bloomberg reported that OpenAI is also entertaining giving Altman a 7 percent stake in the for-profit entity, which could boost his net worth by $10 billion, based on a $150 billion valuation being discussed.
