Elon Musk formally resigns from the OpenAI board. The internal note is short and clinical. The public statement cites a Tesla conflict of interest.

I am resigning from the OpenAI board effective today.

We can issue a joint statement that I am stepping down to avoid future conflict with Tesla's AI work. That is true and is the cleanest framing.

I wish you well.

Elon
