In 2016, as OpenAI negotiated a deal with Microsoft for crucial computing power, CEO Sam Altman sought Elon Musk's approval. Microsoft demanded OpenAI promote their AI tools, which made Musk uncomfortable. Altman proposed a revised deal without promotion obligations, which Musk ultimately accepted.
