Elon has allegedly refused equity in OpenAI. He seems to want it to go back to its original mission (which isn't going to happen) or die (which isn't going to happen).

Sam Altman also allegedly had no interest in equity.

When you get to tell the ASI what to do, money has little value any more.

Guess he's going to be waiting a long time.

Until then the $10.5B in equity might come in handy.

In the article it says he'll now receive equity

Indeed that's the point I'm making.

Ah sorry I misread your comment

Given that Musk was already worried about this and has a legal team the size of a small army, one would expect that any conditions he wanted applied to the donation would have been made at the time.

Musk doesn't seem to be happy about the situation:

I can’t tell if Elon is saying that the tweet is misinformed or OpenAI’s behavior is reprehensible

he doesn’t need the money, for one. he missed out and didn’t control it, and now he’s jealous that it took off. oh well, world’s richest man and smallest violin.
