"OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive": Elon Musk reacts to the launch of GPT-5 in the company's products

Elon Musk continues to mercilessly criticize OpenAI. This time, he directed his apocalyptic thoughts toward Microsoft, which has implemented GPT-5 in its software products.

With the words “OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive” Musk commented Satya Nadella’s position as chairman of the company in X about launch of GPT-5 across the entire software stack, including 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry (yes, perhaps Redmond should be more original in their names).

The Microsoft CEO also noted that only Sam Altman recently “joined”to introduce GPT-4 to Bing. Nadella noted the huge progress of the technology since then and its acceleration over time. Elon Musk commented on this, and both CEOs of large companies argued a bit.

According to Windows Central, even Musk’s lawyer called The latter claim is frankly weak.

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman doesn’t seem too concerned about the allegations either. In a recent interview he told CNBC that he doesn’t think much of Musk, who “tweeted all day about how terrible OpenAI is.” As the saying goes, the caravan marches on despite the unfriendly outsiders’ shouts.
