Sam Altman Slams Elon Musk Over New Threat Against Apple
HuffPost
The OpenAI chief executive accused his fellow billionaire of making a "remarkable claim."
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called out Elon Musk after the chief executive of X threatened to sue Apple, accusing the tech company of “relentlessly promoting” the owner of the popular platform ChatGPT at the expense of his xAI company.
“Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation,” Musk wrote Monday night. “xAI will take immediate legal action.”
Musk did not cite any evidence to back up the allegations he laid out in a series of late-night posts on X, formerly Twitter, in which he also accused the company of “making it impossible for any other AI company to succeed by relentlessly promoting OpenAI in every way possible” and suggesting the iPhone maker was “playing politics.” Apple has yet to address his claims.
Altman shot back at his fellow billionaire in an early Tuesday social media post, claiming his accusations were “remarkable ... given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn’t like.”
Altman cited a February 2023 story by Platformer, tech journalist Casey Newton’s newsletter, reporting that X engineers at the time built a system to promote Musk’s tweets to the social media site’s entire user base after Musk expressed frustration about one of his posts getting less engagement than a post by former President Joe Biden.
