The war between Elon Musk and OpenAI continues, now over the employees. The tycoon has acknowledged that he has had to raise the remuneration of his workers in the artificial intelligence areas to prevent them from leaving for OpenAI.
The company that created ChatGPT has been “aggressively hiring Tesla engineers with great offers and unfortunately has been successful in some cases,” he acknowledged on the social network X (formerly Twitter). Musk was responding to a report that Tesla artificial intelligence scientist Ethan Knight was leaving the auto company to join xAI. “Ethan was going to join OpenAI, so it was either xAI or them,” he said.
Musk, the third-richest person in the world, helped found OpenAI before falling out with the company and leaving. He recently decided to sue her for focusing on making money. He now approaches artificial intelligence from multiple angles, both within Tesla, where it is used to help develop autonomous driving features, and at his startup xAI.
“There are more than 200 excellent engineers on Tesla's artificial intelligence and autonomy team,” he detailed in X. “Tesla's progress in autonomy is accelerating. The talent war for AI is the craziest talent war I have ever seen! "He stated on the social network.
