Apple vs OpenAI New Controversy: The war of words has once again intensified between the world’s two most talked about AI personalities, Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Earlier this year, it was seen that there was a legal dispute going on between the two and now this conflict has come into discussion again after Apple filed a case against OpenAI for alleged intellectual property theft. Let us tell you that on the social media platform

Elon Musk targets again

Social Media Post

After the news of Apple’s lawsuit came out, Elon Musk posted on X “Scam Altman” By writing he targeted Sam Altman. He then added, “That takes scamming to a whole new level.” It is worth noting that Musk has already accused Altman several times of misleading investors and turning OpenAI from a non-profit organization into a profit-making company. The two have long been at odds over the future of AI and the direction of OpenAI.

Sam Altman’s Counterattack

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also immediately responded to Elon Musk’s statement. Taking a dig at Musk’s plan to build a data center in space, he wrote, “Homeboy, you are the one who is selling short-term space datacenters to public market investors.” After this, Musk also replied in his own style and wrote, ‘We will start flying them next year, if your parole officer approves then maybe you can come to meet them. After stealing an open source AI charity, you then stole all of Apple’s phone technology! Wow. What are you planning to do next? It’s hard to beat.”

Debate also broke out regarding GPT-5.6 Sol

This matter has not stopped here now. Let us tell you that Sam Altman claimed in another post that OpenAI’s new GPT-5.6 Sol model is currently one of the best AI models in the world. Taking a dig at Musk, he wrote, ‘There are a lot of benchmarks that show that the 5.6 Sol is the best model in the world right now but the most reliable way to tell it is that Elon is crazy about me again.’ It is seen that this rivalry between Elon Musk and Sam Altman is not new in the AI ​​industry. However, this public debate that started again between the two after Apple’s lawsuit may become one of the most talked about incidents in the AI ​​sector in the coming days.
