Sam Altman calls Elon Musk a bully in recent interview

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has called Elon Musk a "bully" in a recent interview, highlighting Musk's tendency to engage in public disputes. Altman noted that Musk has criticized OpenAI since leaving its board in 2018 and is currently suing the company and Microsoft. Despite their differences, Altman acknowledged Musk's early contributions to OpenAI and described him as a "legendary entrepreneur." He believes Musk's criticisms stem from a desire for control and thinks Musk would approve of OpenAI's current direction if he were in charge. Altman expressed confidence that Musk would not misuse political power to harm competitors, despite Musk's behavior on social media. He emphasized that using political influence for personal business advantage would be "profoundly un-American."
