Elon Musk claims to have invented OpenAI

Just like he did Tesla

The soon to be former supreme twit Elon [look at me] Musk claims he invented OpenAI and even came up with the name.

Musk told CNBC's David Faber that he was the "reason OpenAI exists" he invested around $50 million and was "instrumental" in recruiting key scientists and engineers.

He didn't write any code, but he was the "brain" behind the name. OpenAI, which started out as a non-profit, refers to "open source" Musk said. We can see how that would take the mind of a genius to work out.

It is true that Musk was an early investor in OpenAI and he and the startup's current CEO, Sam Altman, were two of the cofounders back in 2015. But Tesla and SpaceX CEO left OpenAI's board in 2018 — a year before it became a "capped-profit" company. After Musk left AI attracted a huge amount of interest and Musk looked like he was the bloke who refused to invest in the light bulb because he thought candles were still the way forward.
