Elon Musk was already well-known as the head of Tesla and SpaceX when OpenAI was founded in 2015 , so his name was certainly important in luring serious researchers away from Google and other big companies to join the cause – OpenAI’s founding charter clearly stated that the nonprofit organization’s goal was to develop AI in a humane, safe, and open way, as opposed to the secretive, profit-oriented activities of large AI research labs. According to Musk’s testimony, the decisive moment was a conversation with Larry Page, the co-founder of Google, who accused him of “racism” for prioritizing human safety in AI developments. He claims that this was a disruptive moment, and Musk felt that Google DeepMind’s AI developments were moving forward without proper safety considerations, and that a counterweight was urgently needed.
Of the co-founders still active during OpenAI's leadership years, Sam Altman (whose career we just featured in the latest AI News ) was then the president of the Silicon Valley startup incubator Y Combinator, meaning he was more experienced in organization building, while Greg Brockman, known as a software engineer, came to OpenAI from the management of Stripe, a company specializing in digital financial technologies.According to court documents, Musk donated nearly $44 million to the organization in the early years, which is a pittance compared to the company's current value, but it was essential for its launch. OpenAI initially worked on open AI developments, and by creating platforms called Gym and Universe, they gave researchers a unified, measurable framework for training and testing models, thereby accelerating the development of reinforcement learning algorithms globally. However, the relationship between Musk and the rest of the management team quickly deteriorated. According to internal documents presented in court, Musk was already working on taking over the organization and integrating it into the Tesla ecosystem in 2017, meaning he planned to continue operating OpenAI as Tesla's artificial intelligence division - a proposal that Altman and Brockman, of course, firmly rejected. Musk eventually left OpenAI's board of directors in 2018, which was explained at the time as a possible conflict of interest with Tesla, but Musk has since told a very different story about what happened.
After his departure, OpenAI’s development accelerated dramatically. In 2019, a for-profit subsidiary was created to raise the necessary capital, and Microsoft immediately pumped $1 billion into the company , becoming OpenAI’s primary partner and funder. In 2021, after the release of a breakthrough language model called GPT–3 , the giant added another $2 billion to that, and then in November 2022, ChatGPT was released , and the world changed overnight. The chatbot became the fastest-growing consumer product ever: it reached one million users in five days, and by January, the number of people chatting with ChatGPT had grown to 100 million. Through continued growth and increasingly profit-oriented corporate restructuring, OpenAI now boasts nearly one billion weekly active users and a valuation of $852 billion – the company most recently closed a record $122 billion funding round at the end of March, which is intended to pave the way for an initial public offering (IPO) planned for the end of this year or early next year.
This does not mean that Musk has been idle over the years: AI was also essential for the development of Tesla's self-driving technology, but shortly after he bought Twitter in 2022 (and renamed it X), he founded another company of his own called xAI , with which he specifically sought to compete with OpenAI and other leading companies in the industry. Founded in 2023, xAI not only quickly became successful (and scandalous ) with its chatbot called Grok , but also benefited from the data center construction craze that attracted huge government subsidies . In the meantime, he continuously centralized his corporate empire: first in March 2025, he merged X under xAI, and then in February this year, xAI was acquired by SpaceX, which is positioned as the top company in the Musk universe, and is thus valued at a total of 1.25 trillion (1.25 billion) dollars.
