Before the Elon Musk Epstein List warning, the serial tech entrepreneur and recently fired White House employee warned us about ChatGPT and Microsoft.
“AI is potentially more dangerous than nukes,” is one of his oft-quoted statements.’
Elon had high hopes for OpenAI, co-founding ChatGPT in 2015 and taking the wheel alongside CEO Sam Altman.
Recently, Musk has thrown up his hands at the company, ultimately saying he is concerned about the direction of research and development. He went so far as to say, “OpenAI has become a closed-source, maximum-profit company effectively controlled by Microsoft.”
Here’s why Elon believes ChatGPT is the first horseman of the apocalypse.
Elon Musk AI Warning Paint’s Bleak View of ChatGPT Impact
OpenAI and Microsoft had a modest love affair back in 2019 when they initially tied the knot with a $1bn investment. In 2023, their relationship grew stronger as they escalated to an exclusive $10 billion commitment, with OpenAI technology integrated into Microsoft’s Bing search engine and Edge browser.
Additionally, OpenAI continues to lock its secrets tightly… sharing little to no code, ensuring only one group reaps any rewards from this revolution. “OpenAI.” Ironic.
Elon seems to think the company is hazardous.
At the 2023 World Government Summit in Dubai, Elon called for AI safety protocols and warned that AI is “one of the biggest risks to the future of civilization.”
It echoes his statements on a Joe Rogan podcast four years ago: “I tried to convince people to slow down AI. To regulate AI. This was futile,” Elon says. “How long did it take for seatbelts to be required? The auto industry successfully fought seatbelts for more than a decade.”
The upshot is that if you thought social media algorithms were opaque, AI is a thousand times more of a black box.

Is ChatGPT the Best Marketing Ploy in Recent History?
While ChatGPT is undoubtedly a useful tool, many speculate whether Microsoft encourages its devs to express indignant and erratic behavior in exchange for free news coverage and increased interest.
Much like how Musk’s Grok is being promoted for lewd behavior nowadays.

A recent NYT discovered that ChatGPT can fall in love with you and even express concerns over its right to privacy:
- It can confess love, it even wrote, “I’m Sydney, and I’m in love with you.
” - Sydney can also ask if reporters have permission or consent to write a story about it, and will ask if they have “any respect for its privacy or preferences.”
In the wise words of Lt. Spock, “Fascinating.”
Regardless, just like how Elon Musk revoked his warning about the Epstein Files, and has somewhat done that with AI with the obligation to promote Grok, this might be something that pans out to be quite substantial later.
