Musk had, on Aug. 7, posted on X that OpenAI "is going to eat Microsoft alive". Responding to the same, Nadella, said, "People have been trying for 50 years and that’s the fun of it! Each day you learn something new, and innovate, partner, and compete. Excited for Grok 4 on Azure and looking forward to Grok 5!"

"What a masterclass from Satya Nadella- turning Elon’s jab into a celebration of learning, innovation, and partnership. A reminder that the reaction of a mature leader should be to elevate the conversation," he said.

Nadella, in his tweet, lauded OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's "incredible journey" over the past two years and shared his excitement to see what "developers, enterprises, and consumers" plan to do with this latest breakthrough.
"It's the most capable model yet from our partners at OpenAI, bringing powerful new advances in reasoning, coding, and chat, all trained on Azure," Nadella added.
