In a Saturday post on X, Musk invoked his longtime nickname for Altman, writing: “Scam Altman strikes again…”
Technology leaders Elon Musk and Sam Altman traded barbs on social media over the weekend after the SpaceX founder used Apple's new trade secret lawsuit against OpenAI to bash Altman over an alleged "scam."
