OpenAI: This technology can be misused hence we'll not release it to the public.

Also OpenAI: Exclusive access to Microsoft which eventually will release it to public but after paying to OpenAI.

Elon is noone more than a typical corporate who slips away from his ethical commitments at the first opportunity of making money.

What does it have to do with Elon Musk? The article does not mention him as the cause of OpenAI's actions, and he himself has said that he does not have control of the company: "I have no control & only very limited insight into OpenAI."[1]

Fair point. Then his name shouldn't either be used to "market" it and gain public rapport. Because the impression it gives to public is him being in control all while there's no truth in it and public falsely believing in OpenAI's commitments assuming Elon is associated with it.

My question: Why has Elon not put his departure news on twitter as his own tweet rather than just replying to someone?

Here are a few pages on openai's website that still carry his name.

2. "Additionally, Elon Musk will depart the OpenAI Board but will continue to donate and advise the organization" (https://openai.com/blog/openai-supporters/)

The full tweet mentions Dario, too. The full tweet text:

> I have no control & only very limited insight into OpenAI. Confidence in Dario for safety is not high.

Dario is the research director by the way. This tweet says a lot, in my opinion.

One more comment from Elon:

> This does seem like the opposite of open. OpenAI is essentially captured by Microsoft. [0]
