Elon Musk started the weekend the way he starts most of them lately, by posting about Sam Altman.Early on a Saturday in July 2026, Musk told his 200-million-plus followers on X that Altman "takes scamming to a whole new level", reviving the "Scam Altman" tag he has worn out over the past two years. Altman, for once, replied. His most reliable sign that OpenAI's newest model was the best in the world, he wrote, was "that elon is obsessed with me again". Then he went for the jugular: "homeboy you're the one selling public market investors on short-term space datacenters."About The AuthorAt heart, I am a storyteller drawn to the watershed moments that bend the technology landscape. I braid narrative with data, humanise statistics, and trace the arc from first spark to world-changing impact. My reportage, features and reviews are witty, sardonic, visual and vivid, using anecdote to illuminate rather than eviscerate.

As a technology journalist with over sixteen years of experience, I have travelled the world and the seven seas, covered every major tech conference worth its lanyard, chronicled the defining breakthroughs of the last decade and a half, and played a pivotal role in launching some of India’s most important technology publishing platforms across web, print and TV.
