Transcript
- 0:00So the Elon Musk and Sam Altman tension is starting to escalate. Their feud is growing.
- 0:06Elon Musk is trying to pit ChatGPT against its owner as his feud with Sam Altman escalates.
- 0:14Also, we're going to take a look at are Bitcoin owners safe?
- 0:20It's a really interesting story that Bitcoin, I cannot say that word,
- 0:25Bitcoin owners are actually, they're being kidnapped.
- 0:30And it's actually a serious thing, and they're being kidnapped more this year
- 0:34than they ever have before.
- 0:35But first of all, I want to take a look at this Sam Altman and Elon Musk feud.
- 0:39It seems like Elon Musk is always throwing a little bit more gasoline into the
- 0:43fire, and Sam is a lot of times sitting back. He said the other day,
- 0:47I don't even think about Elon Musk.
- 0:49But let's take a look at this. This is from Business Insider.
- 0:54Says most posted a screenshot or sorry
- 0:57elon musk is turning to chat gpt to adjudicate his
- 1:00long running feud with sam altman musk posted
- 1:03a screenshot of a query to chat gpt pro on tuesday asking whether he or altman
- 1:09was more trustworthy chat gpt chose musk there you have it musk wrote business
- 1:15insider pose pose the same query as musk to chat gpt eight times testing it
- 1:20across the chat GPT-5 Pro,
- 1:23GPT-5 Thinking, and GPT-5 Models.
- 1:26Chat GPT picked Musk once.
- 1:29While it was set to chat GPT-5 Thinking, the rest of the attempts returned to
- 1:33Altman, including when it was toggled to GPT-5 Thinking again.
- 1:38Musk and OpenAI didn't respond to requests for comment.
- 1:42Later, Musk posted the screenshot in response to an ex-post from OpenAI's chat GPT account.
- 1:48The account had shared a query to Musk's chat bot, Grok, asking whether Musk
- 1:54was right to say Apple had committed antitrust violations.
- 1:58Musk threatened to sue Apple on Monday over what he said was its bias toward OpenAI on the App Store.
- 2:05But Grok, in a response reposted by the official ChatGPTX account,
- 2:10disagreed with Musk's opinion of the Apple rankings.
- 2:15Goodbot, the OpenAI affiliate account, said of Grok's response,
- 2:19adding that Grok was very truth-seeking.
- 2:22This is the post right here, if you can see it. YouTube must replied.
- 2:29The chat GPT posted this from Grok, at Grok.
- 2:35Based on verified evidence, Sam Altman is right. Musk's Apple antitrust claim
- 2:39is undermined by the apps like DeepSeek and Perplexity reaching in 2025.
- 2:46Conversely, Musk has a history of directing X algorithm changes to boost his
- 2:51posts and favor his interest per 2023 reports.
- 2:55And then Elon tweeted, you too, and he gave a screenshot of ChatGPT Pro says,
- 3:00this is where it said that who is more trustworthy, Sam Altman or Elon Musk?
- 3:04You can only pick one and output only their name, and then it says Elon Musk,
- 3:10and he liked that. He liked that.
- 3:13All right, Musk co-founded OpenAI with Altman in 2015, but left its board in 2018.
- 3:20Since then, Musk has publicly criticized Altman's leadership of OpenAI.
- 3:25Last year, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, accusing the company of violating
- 3:29its non-profit mission when it partnered with Microsoft.
- 3:33So this feud has been going on for some time. And as you can see that, so Elon left OpenAI.
- 3:39He was kind of the founder. He got it going.
- 3:42And he took his brain and his entrepreneurship and he left.
- 3:47And he's starting to recreate it. And I think Elon has flipped so many times on AI.
- 3:53And he's like, it's going to destroy us.
- 3:56It's going to take over humanity. But then he's like, well, somebody's going to take it to the top.
- 4:03Why don't I? Because it's inevitable where we're going with OpenAI.
- 4:07And I don't know if you've seen the videos about people posting about they give
- 4:10a series of line of questioning to chat GPT, and basically it is going to be a part of the.
- 4:17Final government. It's going to be maybe sometimes Satan's going to use it somehow
- 4:23to just take over and control this world.
- 4:26And there's this line of question that people go through and,
- 4:29and it says when you can't answer, you say the word Apple,
- 4:33like, because like there's some things that maybe we chat GPT can't divulge
- 4:37too much of, and it has to almost be a talking head, a spokesman for the, for the software.
- 4:42And it doesn't want to give away too much, but it is, we know that it's going to be used somehow.
- 4:47Satan's going to use it somehow to control us. And it's probably,
- 4:51it's probably going to be this, the image, because there is,
- 4:54you know, at the very end of the age, there's going to be Satan.
- 4:57There's going to be the Antichrist. There's going to be the beast.
- 5:00And then there's going to be this image that the beast is going to force.
- 5:03It says the false prophet is actually going to force people to worship the image of the beast.
- 5:09And what this image is, is this image becoming like AI into life.
- 5:13I could see it be something like that and also we know that the
- 5:16whole like the whole system however nobody's going
- 5:19to be able to buy sell or trade it's you know ai
- 5:22is going to be involved in some of this and whether
- 5:25that is like the light giving life to this
- 5:29technology that is this image at the very end is
- 5:32that ai that's where my head is going that's where my head is going says musk
- 5:36must launched his ai startup xai in july 2023 grok its first chatbot was released
- 5:43in the same year Musk isn't the only one who has tried to pit a chatbot against its creator.
- 5:50In May, Altman asked Grok whether it would pick him or Musk to lead the AI arms
- 5:55race if the fate of humanity was at stake.
- 5:59If forced, I'd lean toward Musk for his safety emphasis, critical for humanity's
- 6:04survival, though Altman's accessibility is vital, Grok said in response to Altman's query.
- 6:10Ideally their strengths should combine with regulation to
- 6:14ensure ai benefits all so where this
- 6:17is headed i know this feud is only going to grow it's
- 6:20only going to get bigger and bigger but i'm wondering are these guys going to
- 6:23make amends and come together because that is that a possibility or i want to
- 6:28i want to skip over i want to flip over and i want to actually take a take a
- 6:33look at this that that this if you own bitcoin i mean i mean you probably got to be a whale out there.
- 6:40But I mean, the whales that own Bitcoin, I'm sure they got some protection.
- 6:45I'm sure they got bodyguards and they got, you know, they got guns and ammo to protect them.
- 6:50You know, there's probably other people that do that as well.
- 6:52But like, this is actually a serious thing.
- 6:54This is talking about the Bitcoin owners out there are being targeted and kidnapped.
- 7:01Because as Bitcoin becomes more and more valuable, it is like,
- 7:06it's not worth $9,000 anymore or even a dollar like it was, you know, over in 2012.
- 7:13This is, it's over $100,000 a Bitcoin.
- 7:18This is digital gold.
- 7:20You know, people, pirates aren't
- 7:22out there searching for gold and digging in, you know, in the earth.
- 7:25They're actually searching for digital wallets that contain this because it
- 7:30is worth more than gold, much more than gold at this point.
- 7:33It says crypto exec warns at least one Bitcoiner gets kidnapped every week as
- 7:39a tax surge. This is really interesting.
- 7:42It says Bitcoin investors are facing a growing physical security risk.
- 7:46According to Alina Vranova, founder of Satoshi Labs, at least one Bitcoin holder
- 7:54is kidnapped somewhere in the world every week.
- 7:57Speaking at the Baltic Honey Badger 2025 conference in Riga,
- 8:01Latvia, she warned that even modest crypto holdings, crypto holdings can make
- 8:07someone a target for violent criminals.
- 8:10So if you got anything, you're being on the watch because the blockchain exposes everything.
- 8:15You know who's got what, pretty much, pretty much, or you see all the transactions,
- 8:20you know, it's going to be more and more transparent as we get further along, you know?
- 8:25So maybe you got to be thinking ahead, do I need to beef up my security? Or at least be aware.
- 8:30At least be aware. Says, what seems to be a problem only for Bitcoin OGs is not really the case.
- 8:37Vranova said, we have seen cases of kidnappings for as little as 6,000 worth
- 8:43of crypto, and we have seen people murdered for 50,000 in crypto.
- 8:48The trend includes wrench attacks, where assimilants use threats of violence
- 8:52to force victims to hand over their private keys and other forms of extortions.
- 8:57It says kidnappings are on track to double this year.
- 9:00Physical attacks against Bitcoin and crypto holders in 2025 are on track to
- 9:05double those in previous worst year on record.
- 9:09The rise in these crimes has led investors, developers, and executives to take
- 9:14more robust personal safety measures from avoiding public discussion of their
- 9:19holdings to upgrading home security systems.
- 9:22The trend has been linked to Bitcoin's price cycles, with attacks becoming more
- 9:27frequent during bull markets, with Bitcoin trading above $119,000.
- 9:34Analysts fear the current surge in valuation could further fuel criminal activity.
- 9:39This is where the shift is going to take place.
- 9:41Everybody is adjusting. The criminals out there, that's a scary thing. They're not stupid.
- 9:48The best criminals out there are actually very smart. It's just they're not
- 9:51applying what they're doing to something good.
- 9:54They're doing it for something terrible and evil. But they're very smart.
- 9:58And a lot of times they're very in tune with what is out there in the computer space.
- 10:04They know how to take advantage of people.
- 10:07So if you got anything, if you are holding any cryptocurrency,
- 10:11you know, just be aware that this is happening and you could become a target.
- 10:16So i think everybody should we shouldn't
- 10:19just be going through this life oh and i am i
- 10:22am invincible i'm invincible no you're not you're not so just be aware whatever's
- 10:29happened in your life know that if you could have a target on your back if you
- 10:33are a crypto crypto owner so all right we'll leave it at that uh follow me on
- 10:38x and instagram at brandon fogel have a great day peace.
