Elon Musk Feels Joe Rogan Hit the 'Bullseye' With Callout of OpenAI CEO
Is Joe Rogan right to call out Sam Altman on AI transparency? Elon Musk seems to think so! Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, once stated, "Whether we burn $500 million a year or $5 billion a year or $50 billion a year, I don’t care," claiming that wealth isn’t his primary goal. However, Joe Rogan decided to take a dig at the tech entrepreneur after he was seen driving a luxury mega car, Koenigsegg Regera. This prompted a humorous response from Elon Musk.
The Koenigsegg Regera Incident
Driving a Koenigsegg Regera, priced at around $4.6 million, is a rarity even among tech billionaires. When Sam Altman was caught on video driving it, it raised eyebrows. Joe Rogan, on a recent JRE episode, chuckled about the situation and highlighted the contradiction between Altman's statements and actions.
"He’s [Sam Altman] always kind of said, ‘I’m not doing this for money. I don’t make any money,’ and they just busted him in a $4 million Koenigsegg," Joe Rogan remarked before Elon Musk's response.
Before Altman could respond, Elon Musk, the CEO of multiple successful ventures, including SpaceX and Tesla, praised Joe Rogan's commentary with a simple tweet saying, "Bullseye," as he commended the UFC color commentator.
