Sam Altman and Elon Musk Argue Over Who’s Running the Bigger Scam

Elon Musk and Sam Altman engaged in a public exchange on X, with Musk accusing Altman of running a scam and Altman retorting that Musk is selling investors on short-term space datacenters. The argument escalated with Musk referencing Altman's alleged theft of an open source AI charity and Apple's phone technology.

Elon Musk https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2075892136604573903 , linking to his own tweet from March that “Sam Altman is super good at scamming”: He takes scamming to a whole new level homeboy you’re the one sellling public market investors on short-term space datacenters Musk https://x.com/elonmusk/status/2076070258654183767 : We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if your parole officer approves. After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology Wow. What do you plan for an encore? That’s tough to beat. All spelling, capitalization, and punctuation sic . These are two of the CEOs of the most valuable companies on the planet. Say what you want about it, but Musk’s Twitter/X is like nothing else that’s ever existed.
