OpenAI is built on a lie, though. It was a non-profit that became a private for-profit company, taking over lots of valuable IP for free, in a manner that was all kinds of illegal, done without the consent of all stakeholders (including Elon, who provided a lot of the initial funding), and no doubt violated a massive number of tax laws, though the government has looked the other way.
The CEO is also rather shady, essentially confessing to sexual conduct which was illegal in his state when he was a teenager, and is accused of far worse things by his estranged sister.
To reply to my own comment, I suppose the point is that the rhetorical jibe is based on well-known dialectical truth. Elon just needs to meme it better.
Musk probably needs to do what Microsoft does when it’s behind and that is to follow suit as quickly as possible, develop new/different features and not make more mistakes than the competitors. It doesn’t always work but it’s probably the best strategy. Crying about the competition isn’t going to impress anyone.
GPT 4o says, "Verdict: Grok Imagine is a legit social-video cannon. But Sora 2.0 is where you go when the brief says ‘make it look real.’ Musk’s fight isn’t baseless—but until Grok closes the quality gap and builds real adoption off-platform, it reads more like a visibility war than a product win."
It is a stretch to call OpenAIs growth organic. Its backing and marketing is propped up.
OpenAI is certainly a lie. The name says "open" but aside from a few open-weight models no one uses, nothing is "open" about OpenAI.

Is Elon back on the ketamine?
