I'm a fool giving free funding to OpenAI: Musk to Altman in 2017
Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, has unveiled certain emails he sent to co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman in 2017. In an email, Musk asked them to continue OpenAI as a non-profit, saying he is "just being a fool providing free funding to a startup". Emails were revealed in a lawsuit that accuses OpenAI of abandoning its original non-profit mission.
