> If Elon is able to promise him the resources he needs to do his research then I think it could work out.

Who on earth would ever trust an Elon promise at this point? The guy literally can’t open his mouth without making a promise he can’t keep.

Unless Ilya is getting something in a bulletproof contract and is willing to spend a decade fighting for it in court, he’s an idiot doing anything with Elon.

Contract wherein Musk pays all legal fees would be pretty trustworthy

That’s my point. If/when he breaches he has to pay your fees for suing him. It’s a contingency lawyer’s dream.

Yeah, I imagine Karpathy had his fill of Musk and left. Probably with a stiff non disparagement agreement.

It would take a rocket scientist to trust Elon Musk
