Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, raised concerns about OpenAI potentially accessing his phone after appointing ex-US Cyber Command chief Paul Nakasone to their board. Musk’s worry stems from his criticism of OpenAI and Apple integrating ChatGPT into iPhones, hinting at banning iPhones from his companies due to security risks.

Nakasone’s appointment to OpenAI’s board and a new safety committee has exacerbated Musk’s fears. Nakasone vowed to safeguard OpenAI from cyber threats, emphasizing protection against evolving security risks posed by malicious entities.

Musk fears that integrating OpenAI’s tech at the OS level could jeopardize user privacy and data security. He hinted that visitors to his companies may need to keep Apple devices in Faraday cages for security measures, reflecting his heightened security concerns over potential privacy breaches.

Reports of Musk collaborating with Samsung to develop an X phone as a secure alternative to iPhones have intensified the situation. This potential partnership may reflect Musk’s efforts to offer a more secure mobile device to users wary of privacy compromises.
