Makes sense. Since buying Twitter he has seemingly prioritized (minimizing) its benefit to humanity even at the cost of profits and commercial interests.

Hi Elon, Here's some chalk. Give me 100 lines:

profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity. profits and commercial interests ahead of seeking to benefit humanity.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Elon Musk sued OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, accusing them of breaching a contract by putting profits and commercial interests in developing artificial intelligence ahead of the public good.

Mr. Musk, who helped create OpenAI with Mr. Altman and others in 2015, said the company’s multibillion-dollar partnership with Microsoft represented an abandonment of its founding pledge to carefully develop A.I.

“OpenAI has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company, Microsoft,” said the lawsuit, which was filed Thursday in Superior Court in San Francisco.

The lawsuit, which seeks a jury trial, accused OpenAI and Mr. Altman of being in breach of contract and violating fiduciary duty, as well as unfair business practices.

That change, which was engineered by Mr. Altman in late 2018 and early 2019, has been the source of backbiting at OpenAI for years and contributed to the board’s decision to fire him as chief executive.

lab from Mr. Altman and its other founders and transform into a commercial operation that would work alongside his other companies, including the electric carmaker Tesla, and make use of their increasingly powerful supercomputers, people familiar with his plan have said.
