Elon Musk expressed concerns to Larry Page about AI, fearing that if Google controlled AI, it could lead to disastrous consequences. Consequently, Elon co-founded OpenAI with a mission to create open-source AI available to everyone, aiming to prevent Google's exclusive control. However, OpenAI eventually shifted to become closed-source, causing Elon to feel betrayed after donating $100 million to the organization. This led Elon to consider starting a new AI venture with a focus on keeping it perpetually open. Despite concerns from the AI risk movement, Elon is determined to pursue this path, emphasizing the need for transparency and open collaboration in the development of AI.
