## Summary

OpenAI, Anthropic, and xAI have asked creator Matt Husk to collaborate after his viral videos trolling AI models gained about 2 million followers across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Husk says xAI offered a Tesla for a week in exchange for exclusive videos, and that OpenAI offered early access to a timer patch if he shared his account, which he declined.
