Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has accused OpenAI of aggressively poaching engineers from his companies. In an interview with CNBC, Musk expressed his frustration with the artificial intelligence research company, stating that they have been “poaching” engineers from Tesla and other companies he is involved with. He claimed that OpenAI has been “aggressively” hiring away talent, which he believes is a “significant issue.” Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left the company in 2018 due to potential conflicts of interest with his other ventures. Despite his departure, Musk remains a donor to the organization. The accusation of poaching employees highlights the intense competition for talent in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence.
