SHOCKING TESTIMONY: Elon Musk once demanded complete control of OpenAI to raise $80 billion to build a “city on Mars”!
A ticking time bomb has just exploded in the legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI, shocking both the tech world and global public opinion.
According to official testimony in the lawsuit, Elon Musk once demanded complete control of OpenAI with a clear purpose: to raise $80 billion to build a city on Mars. This wasn’t a vague, unrealistic plan, but a concrete ambition that Musk had calculated from the beginning – to turn OpenAI into a “safe” to finance his interplanetary dream.
This testimony comes amidst a tense legal battle between Musk and OpenAI. Musk accuses OpenAI of betraying its original mission “for the benefit of humanity,” while OpenAI argues that Musk wanted to turn the company into a tool to serve his personal ambitions. And that ambition is Mars.
According to leaked internal documents, Musk proposed that OpenAI should drastically shift its focus to developing technology to support the colonization of Mars. He wanted to use OpenAI’s immense AI power to design construction robots, self-contained ecosystems, and mass transportation of people and resources to the red planet. To realize this dream, Musk needed a colossal sum of up to $80 billion – enough to build an entire large-scale city on Mars.
“He made it clear: OpenAI must serve my vision of Mars,” an internal source revealed. Musk believed that humanity needed to become an interplanetary species to survive, and he was willing to use all resources – including OpenAI – to make that a reality.
When rejected, Musk left OpenAI and subsequently founded xAI – his own AI company. But the latest testimony shows that his Mars ambitions still burn brightly. $80 billion is no small sum. That budget is equivalent to the GDP of many countries, enough to change the destiny of humanity in the way Musk envisions.
The public reaction has been extremely harsh. Many praise Musk as “the greatest genius of our time,” someone who dares to think big and act for the distant future of humankind. “Without Musk, humanity might remain stuck on Earth forever,” some supportive opinions suggest.
Conversely, a barrage of criticism has poured in. Many argue that Musk was too selfish in wanting to use an organization founded for the common good (OpenAI) to serve his personal dreams. “80 billion USD to build a city on Mars while Earth is still plagued by war, poverty, and climate change – is this the right priority?” – this question is flooding social media.
Elon Musk’s ex-wife, Justine Wilson, has previously hinted in statements that Musk “only cares about Mars and power.” This new testimony only reinforces that image.
Currently, Elon Musk has yet to officially respond to this shocking testimony. However, his SpaceX company is pushing ahead with its Mars plans with Starship, and xAI is also developing rapidly. Clearly, the dream of a “city on Mars” remains the number one priority in the vision of the world’s richest billionaire.
Is Elon Musk right to use OpenAI to fund his space ambitions? Or is this a sign of excessive greed for power?
This story is not over. It’s not just a legal battle between Musk and OpenAI, but also a major debate about technological ethics, personal ambition, and the future of humanity.
