Elon Musk’s Controversial Discussion at the DealBook Summit #

Elon Musk’s interview at the 2023 DealBook Summit was an unexpected highlight. During the 90-minute conversation, he shared strong opinions, accusing advertisers who had withdrawn from X of attempting to ‘blackmail’ him, using explicit language to reinforce his position.

Musk expressed concerns over the swift development of artificial intelligence, notably mentioning his departure from OpenAI due to philosophical differences. This dispute has evolved into one of the most significant lawsuits in the tech industry.

He candidly discussed his personal struggles, motivations, and irritations. Musk revealed he would not support President Biden’s re-election while also expressing reservations about Donald J. Trump. However, he later emerged as Trump’s prominent supporter, significantly contributing to his recent electoral success.

The summit has historically gathered influential figures in business, policy, and culture to address global economic challenges. Previous participants included prominent leaders and entrepreneurs, known for candid discussions on current affairs.

The one-day conference has also featured various key personalities, discussing significant issues influencing the global economy.
