OpenAI’s CEO has stolen Musk’s thunder and it’s a lesson for every leader. Sam Altman and Elon Musk aren’t friends. They used to be colleagues back when the two were co-founders of OpenAI, and they seemingly shared the belief that artificial intelligence could be a huge net benefit for society.

Altman and Musk were OpenAI’s founding co-chairs in 2015, but their relationship has devolved into name-calling and lawsuits.

Musk’s shots at Stargate are the latest development in a yearslong feud between him and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.

Elon Musk's criticism of President Trump's $500 billion Stargate AI initiative has sparked outrage among White House aides.
