Was there a $1bn commitment attributed to Musk? The OpenAI wikipedia article says: “The organization was founded in San Francisco in 2015 by Sam Altman, Reid Hoffman, Jessica Livingston, Elon Musk, Ilya Sutskever, Peter Thiel and others,[8][1][9] who collectively pledged US$1 billion.”
Well Musk was the richest, who notably pulled out and then the money seems mostly not to have manifested. I haven’t seen a public breakdown of commitments those sorts of statements were based on.
Semafor reporting confirms your view. They say Musk promised $1bn and gave $100mn before pulling out.
