Meanwhile, sources said US trade representatives will travel to India for the next round of talks. While US President Donald Trump is set to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Ahead of the talks aimed at ending the Russia-Ukraine war, Trump on Monday claimed to have dealt a big blow to Moscow by imposing unprecedented tariffs on India.

Elon Musk shares damning evidence that he is 'more trustworthy' than Sam Altman
Elon Musk has decided to stir things up again as he posted a screenshot of himself asking ChatGPT AI, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?' And ironically, the AI chose Elon. That little move kicked the already simmering feud between him and OpenAI's Sam Altman into the stratosphere. Elon Musk shares a screenshot of GPT asking who is more trustworthy, him or Sam Altman.(Reuters) ChatGPT chooses Elon Musk Elon Musk's rant against OpenAI continued as he shared a screengrab asking the AI to choose between him and Sam Altman. In a surprising turn of events, the AI bot chose Elon. Sharing the conversation, the tech mogul wrote, 'There you have it.' Elon Musk- Sam Atlman feud explained This is not just playful rivalry. The tension started way back, when Elon and Sam co-founded OpenAI in 2015. But by 2018, Elon left the board as he was not happy with OpenAI ditching its nonprofit roots for a for-profit path. He even tried (and failed) a nearly $97 billion takeover in 2025. Sam laughed it off, calling it a clever distraction tactic, and threw shade right back, hinting that Musk pushes his tech ventures from a place of insecurity, The Guardian reported.

He threatened legal action, accusing Apple of antitrust violations. That set Sam off, who shot back accusing Elon of using X's algorithm in shady ways to promote himself and bury rivals. To prove it, Sam dared Musk to sign an affidavit swearing he's never tweaked X to benefit his own companies. Musk's response? A blunt: 'You liar,' pointing out that Altman's post got three million views, despite Elon having way more followers. Sam's charm offensive continued in the news: he downplayed Musk's relevance amid GPT-5 buzzing and OpenAI's broader mission of advancing safe, beneficial AI. Meanwhile, Elon retorted that his Grok model beats GPT-5 any day, and called Altman 'Scam Altman." FAQs Q: What did Elon Musk ask ChatGPT? A: He asked, 'Who is more trustworthy: Elon or Sam Altman?'—and the AI picked Elon. Q: Why are Musk and Altman feuding? A: Disagreements over OpenAI's direction, Musk's departure, the failed takeover, and competing AI ventures fueled years of tension. Q: What did Musk accuse Apple of?
