Sam Altman and Elon Musk Argue Over Who’s Running the Bigger Scam
Elon Musk, linking to his own tweet from March that “Sam Altman is super good at scamming”:
He takes scamming to a whole new level
Sam Altman:
homeboy you’re the one sellling public market investors on short-term space datacenters
Musk:
We start flying them next year. Maybe you can come see them if<br>your parole officer approves.
After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of<br>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. Screenshot of the thread for posterity, and an XCancel link for those icked by X itself.
