The post Sam Altman testifies he was uncomfortable with Elon Musk’s demand for total control over OpenAI appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Sam Altman took the stand in a federal courtroom and told a story that reads like a Silicon Valley succession drama. During discussions about restructuring OpenAI in 2017, Elon Musk didn’t just want a seat at the table. He wanted to own the table, the chairs, and pass them down to his kids. Altman testified that Musk insisted on “total control” over a proposed for-profit subsidiary of OpenAI, going so far as to suggest that leadership of the entity should transfer to his children after his death. Altman said he found the demand uncomfortable, and more importantly, fundamentally at odds with how OpenAI was designed to operate.

An article from AI CERTs reporting on the Anthropic-SpaceX capacity arrangement caught my attention because it highlights a possibility the cloud market has been moving toward for years but has never fully embraced. The traditional assumption has always been simple: If you need elastic infrastructure at scale, you go to a hyperscaler such as AWS, Microsoft, or Google. They own the data centers, they understand multitenancy, and they know how to deliver computing as a repeatable service. The article suggests something different may now be emerging. Organizations with excess capacity may be able to act, at least temporarily, like cloud providers. This is a meaningful shift. If access to compute, power, and networking can be packaged and sold by enterprises, AI infrastructure operators, telecoms, colocation players, and perhaps even large private data center owners, then cloud computing becomes less about who invented the model and more about who has available capacity right now.
