Popular and controversial entrepreneur Elon Musk recently ridiculed a post by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. This makes it clear that the differences between both serial entrepreneurs transcend the private sphere and are now expressed with this type of clashes. Likewise, this episode reflects the worst part of what many fear about Musk’s presence in the government of the world’s leading power.
Recently, Altman wrote on X congratulating the nomination of David Sacks as the new Cryptocurrency and AI czar. The publication apparently was not viewed with sympathy by Musk, who was quick to respond with a laughing emoji to it.
This response can be interpreted in many ways and not all of them have to do with the typical humor of memes. The rivalry between Musk and Altman has been going on for some time and from being companions in adventures they are now almost enemies. Hence, the first of these businessmen could use all their influence to boycott the creator of ChatGPT.

Musk is one of Donald Trump’s closest allies. In a certain sense, he can be considered a key piece in the magnate’s victory in the recent November elections. This gives the Tesla boss enormous power and influence on the country’s policies towards the technology and innovation sector.

The fight between Altman and Musk beyond the publication in X
As you might guess, Sam Altman’s aforementioned post on X and Elon Musk’s response are the crust of a much larger problem. In his desire for prominence, Musk turned his attention to OpenAI and even filed a lawsuit. Altman’s creation generates enormous impression and also caution among US political sectors.
The fact that a technology of the potential of artificial intelligence is under the control of a few large companies like Microsoft is terrifying to many. For the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, the future could be dystopian if it continues at the current pace of startups like OpenAI.
On the other hand, Musk is convinced that the nature of OpenAI was distorted by becoming, according to him, an arm of Microsoft. In fact, the lawsuit against Altman is apparently motivated by this situation. Meanwhile, Musk also has a huge interest in the AI sector, meaning Altman’s rise is a formidable hurdle.
With this context in mind, it can be said that Altman’s congratulations to Sacks and Musk’s response have enormous meaning. Although Musk has no official position within the government structure, the DOGE department he leads with Vivek Ramaswamy has enormous influence.
The entire atmosphere around Altman’s publication could be indicative of the struggles that will be witnessed during the Trump administration in the field of innovation. During a recent interview, the creator of OpenAI and World Network stated his firm confidence that Musk will not use his influence to take advantage and harm his competitors.
