During the discussion, Carlson pressed Altman on the mysterious death of Balaji, a former OpenAI researcher who had worked on the development of ChatGPT.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Altman appeared visibly uneasy, offering evasive responses as Carlson probed the circumstances surrounding the incident. Musk seized on this moment, using the interview timestamp to bolster his claim that Altman’s behavior suggested guilt.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Balaji’s Background and Departure\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>Suchir Balaji, a talented AI researcher, played a key role in the development of \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/we-are-so-back-chatgpt-team-posts-job-for-content-strategist-with-6-10-years-experience\">ChatGPT\u003C/a> during his nearly four-year tenure at \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/openai-seeks-local-partners-for-gigawatt-scale-data-center-in-india\">OpenAI\u003C/a>. However, he left the company in August 2023, disillusioned by its practices. Balaji publicly accused \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/when-they-say-openai-is-growing-like-no-one-before-show-them-this-chart\">OpenAI\u003C/a> of violating U.S. copyright law by using protected materials to train its AI models, a revelation that triggered multiple lawsuits against the organization. His whistleblowing placed him at odds with OpenAI’s leadership, including Altman, and raised questions about the ethical boundaries of AI development.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>The Circumstances of Death\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cimg alt=\"\" class=\"image-align-right\" height=\"400\" src=\"https://quasa.io/storage/photos/00/image - 2025-09-15T130732.495.jpg\" width=\"300\" />On November 26, 2024, Balaji was found dead in his San Francisco apartment, the victim of a gunshot wound. The scene raised immediate red flags: surveillance camera wires had been cut, blood was found in multiple rooms, and signs of a struggle were evident.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Notably, Balaji had ordered food via DoorDash just minutes before his death, and he had recently returned from a vacation on Catalina Island with friends, where he was described as cheerful and relaxed. These details starkly contrast with the San Francisco Police Department’s conclusion that his death was a suicide, a ruling that halted further investigation.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>A Family’s Fight for Justice\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>Balaji’s parents have vehemently rejected the suicide verdict, insisting their son was murdered. They point to the physical evidence — blood spatter anomalies, the cut camera wires, and the angle of the gunshot wound — as proof of foul play.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>Hiring private investigators and commissioning a second autopsy, they allege that Balaji was shot from an angle inconsistent with self-inflicted injury. Their campaign has gained traction, with some speculating that Altman ordered the killing to silence a potential witness in ongoing legal battles.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>Musk’s Bold Claim\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>Elon Musk’s post on X was unequivocal: “\u003Ca href=\"https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1966056312598667517\">He was murdered\u003C/a>”, directly linking to the contentious moment in \u003Ca href=\"https://youtu.be/5KmpT-BoVf4?t=2068\">Carlson’s interview\u003C/a>. Musk’s history of rivalry with Altman, stemming from their co-founding of OpenAI and subsequent fallout, adds a personal dimension to the accusation.

While Musk’s supporters view his intervention as a courageous stand against corporate overreach, critics argue it’s a reckless claim lacking evidence, potentially aimed at damaging Altman’s reputation. OpenAI has yet to issue an official response, but the company faces mounting pressure to address the allegations as Balaji’s case draws international attention.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cp>The San Francisco Police Department’s refusal to reopen the investigation, despite the family’s evidence, has fueled conspiracy theories and calls for an independent inquiry. Meanwhile, the copyright lawsuits against OpenAI — bolstered by Balaji’s testimony — continue to unfold, with his death casting a long shadow over the proceedings.\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>Also read:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\n\u003Cul>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/pentagon-awards-200-million-contracts-each-to-openai-google-anthropic-and-xai-for-advanced-ai-in-defense\">Pentagon Awards $200 Million Contracts Each to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and xAI for Advanced AI in Defense\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/billionaires-battle-in-california-court-judge-yvonne-gonzalez-rogers-calls-out-musk-and-altman-for-gamesmanship\">Billionaires’ Battle in California Court: Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers Calls Out Musk and Altman for “Gamesmanship”\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\t\u003Cli>\u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/scientists-losing-grip-on-ai-s-logic-and-reasoning-warn-openai-google-anthropic-and-over-40-researchers\">Scientists Losing Grip on AI’s Logic and Reasoning, Warn OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, and Over 40 Researchers\u003C/a>\u003C/li>\n\u003C/ul>\n\n\u003Chr />\n\u003Ch4>\u003Cstrong>A Tech Titan Feud\u003C/strong>\u003C/h4>\n\n\u003Cp>This episode underscores the deepening rift between Musk and \u003Ca href=\"https://quasa.io/media/ai-bubble-acknowledged-at-the-top-even-sam-altman-warns-of-a-crash\">Altman\u003C/a>, two of the most influential figures in artificial intelligence.
