Elon Musk and Sam Altman's rivalry has escalated into a public feud, with Musk calling Altman a 'swindler' and 'liar' over a $500 billion AI data center deal between OpenAI and Donald Trump's administration. The conflict may have roots in Musk's failed attempt to curry favor with Trump and his administration.
Elon Musk and Sam Altman, once collaborators, are now embroiled in a public feud. The conflict began when Trump's administration announced a $500 billion AI data center deal with OpenAI, excluding Musk's AI company. Musk took to social media to call Altman a 'swindler' and 'liar', claiming the deal lacked funds. Insiders suggest Musk's involvement in Trump's election campaign was an attempt to gain favor with the administration and undermine Altman. Joshua Kushner, Jared Kushner's brother and a significant OpenAI backer, may have contributed to the tension. The feud highlights the intense competition in the AI industry and the complex relationships between tech billionaires and politicians.
