Elon and Samās $130B Nonprofit Soap Opera on X
In the ultimate boardroom blockbuster, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, former AI BFFs turned frenemies, continue their public phone tag on X throughout November 2025. Originating from their 2015 nonprofit baby OpenAI, Elon leapt ship in 2018, later launching rival xAI in 2023. Altman proudly claims to have resurrected OpenAI from Muskās abandonment, bragging about its $130 billion nonprofit valuation after its 2024 for-profit pivot. Meanwhile, Elon accused Sam of 'stealing a nonprofit' and still hasnāt cashed a $50,000 Tesla Roadster refund from a 2018 purchase. Highlights include legal drama over OpenAIās transformation and Samās pleas for peace, creating a corporate melodrama no scripted TV could match.

Elon and Samās feud is basically corporate Tinder: started nonprofit, ghosted board meetings, now swiping lawsuits and Tesla refunds like itās a breakup album.
OpenAI went from saving humanity to turning into Microsoftās piggy bank, and all Elon gets is a bounced email and punchy tweets. Priorities, am I right?
