    quite a self-serving ask from openAI isnt it? didnt they recently also changed from being non-profit to for-profit?

    Why does xAI need to raise money at all? Elon should have plenty right?

    This is pretty par for course for startups. I've seen companies that raised money ask their VCs to not to invest in competitors many many times.
