“He was murdered.” Tesla CEO Elon Musk said on Thursday that Suchir Balaji, who died last year, was actually murdered.
The billionaire Elon Musk said again this Thursday that Suchir Balaji It was murdered, although investigators concluded earlier this year that the former OpenAi employee committed suicide with a firearm.
Musk’s sensationalist statement comes after a tense interview between OpenAi CEO, Sam Altman, and the Fox News commentator Tucker Carlsonwhich also launched doubts about the overwhelming conclusions of the authorities about the death of Balaji.
The investigation report to the case, emphasizes, concludes that there is clear evidence that Balaji killed himself, including the fact that gun owner who killed him, and was found lifeless at home, with all the entrances locked inside and No signs of someone else’s presence.
Months before his death, the 26 -year -old software engineer had denounced what he considered to be illegal violations of copyright by the company where I worked, and was available to witness in the judicial process that the newspaper had moved against the AI company, competitor of the Xai de Musk.
The insinuation, apparently, is that OpenAi, or people associated with the company, will have secretly orchestrated the murder of the complainant.
In the interview with Altman, Tucker Carlson makes a long speech about the supposed evidence that would support the theory that Balaji was murdered. “You realize that this sounds like an accusation,” said Altman.
“I was very shaken by this tragedy,” said Altman. “I spent a lot of time trying, you know, read everything I managed to findas I am sure that you and others also did, about what happened. It looks like a suicide to me“.
“I did not participate in many interviews where I was accused of murder“Altman admitted at the end of the tense interview, visibly defensive.
It is not difficult to realize the Musk’s motivation to try to align with Carlson In this matter, says Futurism. It has been dragging on it for years and has become one.
Balaji’s death became controversial earlier this year, after the family refused to accept the conclusions of the official investigation.
The engineer’s mother even participated in Carlson’s program, claiming that evidence made no senseand filed a lawsuit against the São Francisco Police Department, requiring the full disclosure of the investigation report.
The external expert hired by the family never visited the place of the incident, recalls Fortune.
Although it is unlikely that Musk’s accusation adds credibility to the theory that the death of Balaji involved a crime in the post-truth world in which we live Influence and number of followers They can contribute to the controversy climbing.
After all, we all know that a person found lifeless at home, with all the entrances locked inside and without signs of someone else’s presence, may perfectly have been murdered. In Hollywood movies and Books by Agatha Christie, It is always happening.
