Former Tesla president, Jon McNeill, has stated that top AI executives are aligning with Elon Musk's approach to AI, which they see as a threat as not just a business strategy. McNeill's book, The Algorithm, details Musk's management playbook and his relationship with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. He also noted that Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has little respect for Musk's ethics. The tension between these leaders stems from Musk's focus on pushing boundaries on safety guardrails, particularly after Anthropic lost its Pentagon contract due to a disagreement on safety measures.
