Elon Musk wanted to turn OpenAI into for-profit company, merge it with Tesla: Sam Altman

Elon Musk recently filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, alleging that they violated their original contractual agreements related to AI. Now, OpenAI's CEO Sam Altman opened up about the lawsuit and said that Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk thought that the ChatGPT-maker company would fail, and "he chose to part ways". "At various times, he wanted to make OpenAI into a for-profit company that he could have control of or have it merge with Tesla. OpenAI then hit back at Musk's lawsuit, saying as the company discussed a for-profit structure in order to further the mission, "Musk wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control".
