Musk viewed Hassabis and Google as a primary threat to humanity, leading to years of competitive anxiety. The records reveal that Musk frequently questioned whether Hassabis was "evil" and obsessed over the need for OpenAI to "step up" its game to avoid being left behind by Google’s superior resources.
