Source Check Verdicts

unverifiable95% confidence

Last checked: 4/9/2026

The source is a current/recent OpenAI website snapshot (dated 2026) that does not address historical personnel information about Elon Musk's involvement with OpenAI. The claim concerns Musk's role as Co-founder & Co-Chairman from 2015-2018, which is a historical fact that would not typically appear on a current company homepage. The source simply does not contain information relevant to verifying or contradicting this personnel record. This is a case of wrong source relevance — the source discusses OpenAI's current state but not its historical founding team or past leadership.
