Elon Musk has 'Insecurity', says OpenAI's Sam Altman, 'I feel for the guy' | Bloomberg The Pulse

OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said the company is “not for sale” and Elon Musk is probably trying to delay its progress with an unsolicited bid for the artificial intelligence pioneer. “I think he is probably just trying to slow us down. He obviously is a competitor,” Altman said in an interview with Bloomberg Television Tuesday on the sidelines of an AI summit in Paris. Meanwhile, the European Union said it will respond to any tariffs the US might impose on it, escalating a potential transatlantic trade dispute. “Unjustified tariffs on the EU will not go unanswered — they will trigger firm and proportionate countermeasures,” EU Commission President Ursula Von der Leyen said in a statement. On Monday, US President Donald Trump ordered a 25% tariff steel and aluminum imports.
