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.

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?

Musk takes fight with OpenAI to Apple over its app store
Elon Musk said Apple is behaving anticompetitively by promoting OpenAI's ChatGPT while suppressing his Grok AI chatbot in the App Store, renewing his criticism of the iPhone maker's partnership with OpenAI. Musk called Apple's App Store rankings an 'unequivocal antitrust violation" in a post on his social-media platform X Monday night and threatened 'immediate legal action." 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store," he said in the post. The App Store, which features lists of top and trending apps, is a key way for apps to access new customers. Apple doesn't say much about how and why it chooses particular apps to feature. Among the factors it considers are usability and positive ratings and reviews. Representatives for Apple, OpenAI and Grok parent xAI didn't immediately respond to requests for comment. Musk's posts are the latest related to his long-running dispute with OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman. His relationship with OpenAI has soured since he helped found the company in 2015. He sued the ChatGPT maker last year, alleging at the time it had abandoned its founding principles by attempting to convert to a for-profit company. He later withdrew and refiled the suit several times with new allegations. OpenAI has disputed his claims and said he is motivated by being a competitor. Musk's remarks may not lead to a lawsuit. He has issued past threats on X and elsewhere but hasn't always followed through. Apple and OpenAI last year announced a deal to integrate ChatGPT into Apple products for functions such as writing messages and answering difficult questions. After the announcement, Musk threatened on X to bar Apple devices from his companies. Musk issued his latest threat on behalf of xAI, which owns Grok. 'Why are the Grok and the X app excluded from every list, except those measuring raw downloads, but ChatGPT is on every list? This is messed up!" Musk wrote in another post Tuesday morning. Altman responded on X on Tuesday, saying: 'This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like." On Tuesday morning, Apple prominently featured a link to ChatGPT, promoting its new GPT-5 model, at the top of its 'Apps" section. It also included OpenAI's model in its 'Must-Have Apps" list and second in its 'Popular Apps" list. Grok is only ranked on the 'Top Free Apps" list, where it is No. 5 and ChatGPT is No. 1. Chinese AI startup DeepSeek, a rival chatbot to ChatGPT and Grok, achieved the top ranking on Apple's App Store in January. The Justice Department last year accused Apple of monopolizing the smartphone market in a landmark antitrust suit. One of the claims in the lawsuit is that Apple's App Store policies create barriers to entry for developers and hinder innovation. Other developers have sued Apple to force changes in the App Store, in particular the high fees it charges for apps and services sold there. Earlier this year, a California judge ruled that Apple must allow app developers to sell their iPhone apps from their own websites. Apple is also facing other threats to the App Store, including international regulations that threaten to reduce the fees it can charge app developers.

Sam Altman: Gen-Z Graduates Entering 'Luckiest Time in History' Despite AI Job Shake-Up
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman believes that young people stepping into the workforce today are entering the 'best time in history' to start their careers, even as artificial intelligence reshapes the global job market. Speaking on Cleo Abram's Huge If True podcast, Altman said that if he were graduating now, 'I would feel like the luckiest kid in all of history.' His optimism comes amid growing concerns that AI could displace significant numbers of jobs, particularly at the entry level. Altman acknowledged that 'some classes of jobs will totally go away,' but stressed that younger workers are generally more adaptable than older generations. 'I'm more worried about what it means, not for the 22-year-old, but for the 62-year-old that doesn't want to go retrain or reskill or whatever the politicians call it,' he explained. One of the reasons for Altman's confidence is the power of new AI tools, such as OpenAI's latest model, GPT-5. He envisions a future where a single person could launch a billion-dollar business and develop groundbreaking products without the massive teams once considered essential. This, he says, creates unparalleled opportunities for experimentation, rapid innovation, and entrepreneurship. Still, Altman did not shy away from acknowledging risks. He admitted that predictions suggesting 'half of the entry-level white-collar workforce will be replaced by AI' in the next five years might prove accurate. However, he is equally confident that 'completely new, exciting, super well-paid, super interesting jobs' will emerge—roles that don't even exist yet. He even imagined a future where graduates take on missions to explore the solar system. Altman noted that technological revolutions have transformed work many times before, and society has always adapted. While older workers may find the pace of change daunting, he believes younger generations are more prepared to learn new skills when required. However, he admitted the rapid acceleration of AI makes it 'very hard to imagine' what the next decade might look like. The conversation also touched on the growing difficulty of distinguishing real from AI-generated content. Altman pointed out that society has long moved away from consuming purely unedited media. Even everyday smartphone photos are now subtly altered by AI tools. 'The threshold for how real does it have to be to consider to be real will just keep moving—media is always a little bit real and a little bit not real,' he said. Meanwhile, the job market presents a mixed picture. According to a report by Fortune, research from Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius suggests that the 'safety premium' of a university degree has nearly disappeared. Employment consultancy Challenger, Gray & Christmas reported a sharp rise in job cuts in July 2025, with almost half linked to AI and other 'technological updates.' Altman's message to today's graduates is clear: embrace the change, harness the tools at hand, and seize the unprecedented opportunities this AI-driven era offers.
