Elon Musk publicly asserted that OpenAI will "eat Microsoft alive," a statement made in the context of OpenAI's recent launch of GPT-5 and its integration into Microsoft platforms. Musk's comment reflects tensions in the partnership between OpenAI and Microsoft, which owns a 50% stake in OpenAI but has reportedly faced challenges accessing OpenAI's full intellectual property, with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman hesitant to share all assets. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella responded to Musk's remarks with composed confidence, emphasizing that the competition in AI is part of a 50-year journey of learning and innovation. Nadella remained unfazed by Musk's prediction. Meanwhile, Sam Altman distanced himself from Musk's comments, indicating he does not focus much on Musk and dismissing Musk's ongoing criticisms of OpenAI's model and company prospects. The exchange highlights ongoing rivalry and differing perspectives among key figures in the AI and tech industry.
