Altman claimed that Musk's opposition to OpenAI's potential for-profit transition comes from his desire to remain in control of the AI start-up.

The two co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but Musk departed the board in 2018 and has since become a vocal critic of the company, even launching a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft.

The tension continues to grow between OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and Tesla owner Elon Musk. Altman didn’t stop firing shots at Musk as he recently labeled him as a clear bully who enjoys picking fights with other rivals.
