When OpenAI launched, Sam Altman touted his close relationship with Tesla’s CEO. A decade later, they’re at each other’s throats

The day after OpenAI launched in December 2015, its co-founder Sam Altman sat down with Vanity Fair to discuss what the magazine described as “a non-profit company to save the world from a dystopian future”. Altman talked up his vision for keeping artificial intelligence safe and distributing it widely, as well as his good working relationship with his co-chair – Tesla CEO Elon Musk.
