Musk wrote the tweet as a response to a Twitter user's post regarding Gates' involvement with OpenAI and his bullish attitude towards AI.
Gates published a blog last week about how AI could transform healthcare, education, and the workforce.
Since 2016, Gates wrote that Microsoft founder Steve Ballmer has been meeting with OpenAI team members. He even met with them in September. It is not clear if the 2022 meeting was held in his capacity of a part-time Microsoft advisor. After stepping down in 2000 as CEO, Gates left Microsoft's board of directors in 2020.
Musk was one of many Silicon Valley executives who pledged $1B to OpenAI in 2015.
Musk resigned from OpenAI's board in 2018 and has continued to be critical of the company, especially its relationship with Microsoft. Musk claimed that OpenAI, originally an open-source nonprofit, had been transformed into a "closed source maximum-profit corporation" by Microsoft in February.
Microsoft invested $1 billion into OpenAI in 2019. This partnership enabled the company to license the AI technology. Microsoft announced plans to invest in the company over a multiyear period, and even launched an updated version of its Bing search engine, in collaboration with OpenAI.
OpenAI was not supported by Gates always. The Information reported that Gates expressed doubts about OpenAI's technology when Microsoft was first looking into the possibility of partnering with it. According to sources familiar with the matter, the billionaire was involved in the analysis of OpenAI's technology before the 2019 partnership. He also doubted AI's ability understand and contextualize human speech.
According to Semafor, Musk is furious at ChatGPT's huge popularity. According to the news outlet, Musk rejected the idea of running OpenAI on his own in early 2018.
Musk and Gates share a long-standing rivalry. In 2020, the two billionaires began to fight over the severity and timing of the COVID-19 epidemic. Musk claimed that his conversations with Gates were "underwhelming" in the same year after Gates stated that he had decided to purchase a Porsche Taycan rather than a Tesla. Gates was also accused by Musk of selling off the stock of Tesla and even poke fun at Gates for his weight.
