Sam Altman throws shade at Anthropic's cyber model, Mythos: 'fear-based marketing' | TechCrunch This week, during a podcast appearance, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman called out his competitor's new cybersecurity model, noting that the company was using fear to make its product sound more impressive than it actually is.

Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter — now rebranded as X — is one of the most controversial moves in tech history. What was once a global platform for news, politics, and culture is now caught in debates about free speech, censorship, and chaos. Musk promised to make Twitter a “free speech haven,” but critics argue he turned it into a playground for disinformation and hate speech.

The drama goes far beyond tweets. Musk laid off thousands of employees, cut back moderation teams, and clashed with governments over online content. Advertisers pulled out in droves, costing the platform billions. At the same time, his loyal fans praise him as a visionary fighting against “woke” censorship. This split has made X not just a company but a cultural battlefield.

Studies from the University of Southern California and the Pew Research Center show that after Musk’s takeover, misinformation surged, while trust in the platform dropped to record lows. Yet Musk keeps pushing — integrating payments, video streaming, and even talking about turning X into an “everything app.” The world watches closely, wondering if chaos is part of his plan.
