6. This will be a much more interesting, and fairer, fight

Not only is Musk unlikely to intimidate Sam Altman, but you can see from this tweet that Altman understands Musk is a deeply wounded, insecure guy with numerous pain points and Altman bypassed all this silly machismo and money attacks to straight for the jugular.

This is what Mike Bloomberg was just in the very early stages of doing to Trump when he pulled out of the 2020 election. It's partially to do with envy and facing someone who has genuine accomplishments vs. con men who can't withstand serious scrutiny.

I think Altman can unglue Musk, especially if he begins to target Musk's personal failings, especially his incompetent parenting. Musk may even drop the battle because it could get so painful and embarrassing.
