@entrepreneurs: Sam Altman reserved Tesla’s next-generation Roadster in 2018, paying $50,000 before waiting nearly 8 years for the electric sports car. In October 2025, the OpenAI CEO publicly shared his attempt to cancel the reservation after an email to Tesla’s reservations address bounced back. Elon Musk responded on X, criticizing Altman and claiming the refund had already been processed within 24 hours. Now, in October 2026, the same long-awaited Roadster is back in the spotlight with Tesla’s futuristic flying-car ambitions and SpaceX-inspired thruster technology.

Elon and Sam is so funny 😆 everytime they together at some whitehouse thing or something too

Jim :

Remember: Elon funded all of OpenAI's research under the condition that it was supposed to be open to the public. Sam Altman then took everything and quietly transferred everything of value into a for-profit company he controls.
