Meme lore
What is the Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman meme?
Elon Musk vs. Sam Altman is a two-portrait split used after a federal jury in Oakland found Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI not liable in Musk’s suit. Left is Musk in a dark suit, side-eye; right is Altman in a grey sweater, mid-sentence. Used for plaintiff vs defendant, “I sued” vs “not liable,” and any feud that ended on a technicality.
