• Last year, Elon Musk challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a cage match. This year, the xAI CEO was enlisting the Meta boss for help, according to a recent court filing. Musk approached Zuckerberg about helping xAI finance an attempted $97.4 billion takeover of OpenAI earlier this year, the filing said. Musk’s feud with Zuckerberg has spanned nearly a decade.

There’s apparently some truth to the saying, “The enemy of your enemy is your friend.”
