Idk it says Elon Musk is a co-founder of openAi on wikipedia. I haven't found any evidence to suggest he had anything to do with it. Not very accurate reporting.

It is true, though.

The company counts Elon Musk among its cofounders, though he has since cut ties and become a vocal critic of it (while launching his own competitor).

Paywalled link, but yes, someone pointed that out and I was surprised that there is such a small pool of info about it. You'd think wiki would elaborate more on it, or that OpenAi wiki might detail it. BUT, I haven't read either in their entirety. Just something I saw that wasn't detailed too well.

Isn't co-founder similar to being made partner at a firm? You can kind of buy your way in, even if you weren't one of the real originals.

That is definitely how I view it. I'm always open to being shown I am wrong, with sufficient evidence, but on this, I believe you are accurate on this.
