Elon Musk has intensified his feud with Apple, threatening the tech giant and accusing the head of OpenAI of dishonesty.
The dispute began when Musk claimed that he once reached out to Apple CEO Tim Cook during the “darkest days” of Tesla, looking for support to sell the company. Musk alleged that Cook refused to take a meeting, a decision that Musk says left him feeling snubbed and refused to buy Tesla at a lower valuation.
In response, Apple has not directly addressed Musk’s claims. However, Cook reportedly did not take a meeting with Musk, leading to speculation about the potential reasons behind this decision.
Moreover, Musk took aim at Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI and accused him of lying about why he left the artificial intelligence research lab. Altman recently stated that he left due to disagreements with some major decisions at OpenAI, which Musk co-founded. Musk refuted this claim, calling Altman a “liar” and insinuated there were other reasons behind his departure.
These developments highlight the ongoing tension between Musk, Apple, and the individuals associated with OpenAI. The escalation of the feud could have implications for the tech industry and the broader business community.
