Going off of Musk’s public persona, I think there’s some not-insignificant chance that calling him out like Yudkowsky did will be counter-productive. If this is accurate and if Yudkowsky is correct about the negative value of OpenAI...Yudkowsky just put himself in the same shoes as everyone he’s describing as having contributed to OpenAI’s success by causing Musk to dig his heels in on the subject.
You know, I actually knew this, but kind of forgot about it momentarily! I think it was because of the framing of the post that almost makes it sound like an ongoing concern of Musk’s.
That being said, I wouldn’t be surprised to hear if the general point I’m making holds for at least some subset of current OpenAI people.

Note that Musk parted ways with OpenAI back in 2018, in part because of a conflict of interest (between Tesla and OpenAI).
