has good news for Elon Musk, bad news for Sam Altman

One of the tech sector’s biggest names recently announced something that experts believe has significant implications for Elon Musk.

is sending a clear message to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman by making a deal with one of his biggest rivals. But on top of that, Altman and Musk have been locked in a feud for years, which has included Musk trying to buy Altman’s company and publicly calling him out on social media.
