Part 10/14:
Turning to AI, Musk discusses his involvement with OpenAI, which he co-founded to promote open-source, non-profit AI development. He criticizes OpenAI's shift towards becoming a for-profit, closed-source entity aimed at financial gain, likening it to funding a nonprofit to preserve the Amazon rainforest but then turning it into a lumber company.
Musk confirms he is pursuing legal action against OpenAI to address these structural changes, which he feels diverge from the organization's original mission. Despite leaving the company, he remains engaged in the debate over AI safety and transparency, advocating for minimal but effective regulation—akin to sports referees—rather than excessive oversight that stifles innovation.
