In 2015, a group of young techies including Elon Musk, co-founded OpenAI. It is the parent company of ChatGPT chatbot that has gained immense popularity over the years. However, according to recent reports, Elon Musk's bid to control OpenAI was met with resistance from his fellow co-founders.

Elon Musk is known for his ambitious projects and investments in futuristic technology like space travel and electric cars. In fact, he invested millions of dollars in OpenAI as he believed it could play a vital role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence (AI). However, things did not go as planned when he tried to take control of the company.

According to sources familiar with the matter, when Elon Musk attempted to assume greater authority at OpenAI by becoming a board member or acquiring more shares in the company than other cofounders had access too , it was met with resistance from his colleagues who feared that this would give him too much power and ultimately undermine their mission for creating an ethical AI system.

OpenAI's goal has always been focused on developing AI technologies that benefit society without causing any harm or infringing on people’s privacy rights. The organization comprises some of the brightest minds in AI research who have been working tirelessly towards achieving this goal since its inception.

The report further revealed that despite facing opposition from within his own team members at OpenAI; Mr.Musk continued investing money into ChatGPT chatbot development while keeping himself updated about all developments through regular updates sent via email updates sent by other members such as Greg Brockman CEO @Openai stating "ChatGPT development continues at rapid pace."

In conclusion,the report shows how even someone as influential and powerful as Elon Musk can face challenges when trying to exert control over an organization whose primary mission goes beyond profitability – something that should be celebrated in the tech industry.
