Write something nice about Elon? Altman once asked his girlfriend; adds twist to their strained ties

A court filing reveals Sam Altman asked Elon Musk’s ex, Shivon Zilis, if he should publicly praise the Tesla CEO on X. Altman’s February 2023 text inquired about praising Musk’s early contributions to OpenAI. This followed a dispute over a photo and preceded Altman’s public commendation of Musk’s ambition. Musk and Altman were OpenAI co-founders, but tensions grew by 2018.
