Elon Musk’s Reaction
As the AI community buzzed over the launch, Elon Musk took aim at Microsoft’s partnership with OpenAI, saying:
“OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive.”
Musk claimed his own AI project, Grok 4, already surpasses GPT-5 and teased Grok 5 before the year’s end. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella responded calmly, noting that competition has always driven tech innovation.
