Elon Musk is responsible for the "OpenAI" name and regularly agrees with you that the current form of the company makes a mockery of the name.

He divested in 2018 due to conflict-of-interest with Tesla and while I'm sure Musk would have made equally commercial bad decisions, your analysis of the name situation is as close as can be to factually correct.

Exactly.

I think he'd say it's an arms race. With OpenAI not being open, they've started a new kind of arms race, literally.

He already did that once and got burned? His opinion has changed in the decade since?
