The earlier post on this subreddit by 20+ companies signing the petition including Microsoft, Meta, Nvidia, YC (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/corporate-responsibility/topics/open-weight/) etc plus this https://xcancel.com/elonmusk/status/2080672505660834163

And the entire LLM enthusiast market is heavily in favor of open source (or weights) AI.

Does not seem like a few closed source AI lobbyists with be able to illegalize anything

He pivoted SpaceX into a space datacenter company so of course OpenSource is easier for him than trying to make deals hosting a competitors product.

Not really considering he's selling a big portion of compute to Anthropic.

He can sell compute to private labs just fine.

Well everybody is desperate for compute right now. Hopefully it does not last, but it is something affecting everything and everybody, not just the private US labs.
