Since then, the two have pushed heads above the direction that Optai has entered. At its foundation, Openai was initially supposed to function as a non -profit group with an open source ethics. However, since Chatgpt exploded on the technological scene, Altman sought to transform Openai into a for profit business.

Musk, who has since launched his own AI, Xai, has often publicly critical OPENAI and Altman for its management.
