Following an announcement that OpenAI will be integrated into Microsoft platforms, Elon Musk predicted that the software giant will get taken over.
After Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella posted on X that OpenAI's GPT-5 service is included in Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot, GitHub Copilot, and Azure AI Foundry, competitor Elon Musk wasted no time predicting that "OpenAI is going to eat Microsoft alive."

Altman went on to note that previously, Musk had nothing but criticism for OpenAI.
The two cofounded OpenAI in 2015, and Musk left in 2018 after a disagreement over the direction of the company's mission.
