Altman Reveals Musk Demanded Control of OpenAI, Wanted to Pass It to His Children on Tuesday

According to Altman’s testimony in federal court on Tuesday, Sam Altman revealed that Elon Musk had demanded control of OpenAI and proposed making it a Tesla subsidiary in 2018. When other founders questioned what would happen to the company after his death, Musk responded: “Maybe I should pass it to my children.” Altman described the proposal as “chilling.”

The founding team rejected Musk’s takeover plan, citing consensus that “no single person should control AGI.” Following the rejection, Musk cut off his regular quarterly donations of $5 million in early 2018 and claimed OpenAI’s success rate without him was “not 1%, but 0%.”
