The reproduced messages follow a starkly different point of view Musk represented last week, when he sued OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, alleging breach of contract and unfair competition.

This feels like kindergarten, but with billions of dollars. Gotta love capitalism

How can we control a kindergartener with unlimited money and ressources just to, you know, make sure they don't destroy everything around them? Like little kids do?

That is my biggest fear for our future. It's not a grumpy AI-engineer or evil dictator who wants to destroy humanity. It's a handful of people with unlimited ressources who can decide if we go forward or not. And total power corrupts, that's just a fact.
