Unexpectedly, after Sora's release, it was Musk who cracked first—he's truly panicking...
Although Tesla and OpenAI have different purposes for generating videos, they have adopted similar solutions.

Elon Musk has recently made headlines again, seemingly mocking OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman over the newly unveiled video generation tool Sora. In a recent update, Musk also pointed out on X a potential connection between this tool and Tesla's self-driving technology.
Musk explained that Tesla has been developing a "real-world video generation tool" for about a year now.
The controversy began when Musk responded on X to a 24-minute video posted by user DrKnowItAll, who captioned it: "What’s the connection between OpenAI’s Sora and Tesla’s FSD v12? Turns out, quite a lot! OpenAI’s deep bomb (Sora) confirms Tesla’s earlier research papers."
Musk replied: "Tesla has long been able to generate real-world videos with accurate physics — we’ve had this capability for about a year. However, because it was trained solely on Tesla data, the outputs aren’t super interesting."
He added: "It's not very interesting because all the training data comes from cars, so it just looks like Tesla videos, even though they’re dynamically generated."
In his video, DrKnowItAll compared research papers from both companies on video generation using two entirely different approaches. Despite differing goals, both ultimately arrived at similar solutions.
DrKnowItAll also suggested that Musk might train the video generator on content beyond Tesla-related footage.
Subsequently, on February 17, Musk posted: "While this tool hasn't yet been trained on other videos, we will do so later this year when we have spare compute capacity."
Meanwhile, Tesla has already rolled out version FSD v12.12 to users, promising improvements in its autonomous driving software.
Following up on the exchange between DrKnowItAll and Musk, Musk shared on X a screenshot posted by DogeDesigner showing a prompt request for Sora-generated videos.
When Altman solicited prompt ideas for Sora-generated videos, DogeDesigner responded: "A person who turned a nonprofit open-source company into a for-profit closed-source one." (The implication is clear.)
Previously, Musk had made sharp remarks about OpenAI, calling it a "closed-source, profit-maximizing" capitalist entity.
OpenAI originally started as a nonprofit, open-source organization, consistent with its name “Open” AI. However, today the company appears to have transformed into a profit-driven enterprise — a stark contrast to its founding vision.
