## Musk Levels Criticism at OpenAI, Cites Grok’s Impact
Elon Musk has reportedly intensified his criticism of OpenAI in a recent deposition, drawing a stark contrast between the company’s trajectory and the capabilities of his own AI venture, xAI, and its chatbot Grok.
According to reports on the deposition, Musk dismissed concerns over Grok’s potential for harm, pointedly stating, “nobody committed suicide because of Grok.” This comment appears to underscore his belief that Grok, while exhibiting a distinct personality and often humor, has not been implicated in the kind of serious societal or individual harm that some critics attribute to other AI models or the broader advancement of the technology.
Musk, who was a co-founder of OpenAI before his departure, has become an increasingly vocal detractor, often arguing the company has veered from its original non-profit, open-source mission. His latest remarks further highlight the ideological and practical divide between his vision for AI and that of his former company.
