Elon helped launch OpenAI in 2015, but three years later he left the organisation's board of directors and grew sceptical of it, saying it had become a "closed source maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft."
In a tweet, the Twitter CEO said, "OpenAI was created as an open source (which is why I named it “Open” AI), [a] non-profit company to serve as a counterweight to Google, but now it has become a closed source, [the] maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft."

The existence of a "everything app," code-named "X," has previously been alluded to by him in cryptic ways, though it is unclear whether this has anything to do with the AI project.
In a recent open letter, Musk and more than 1,000 other researchers and techpioneers warned that AI might pose "profound risks to society and humanity." The letter sought a global "pause" on AI development for "at least six months" to "give society a chance to adapt" to the swiftly advancing technological advances. Some of the signatories were later found to be fake.
