Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on X, "Ashok Elluswamy was the first person to join the Al/Autopilot team and ultimately rose to lead all Al/Autopilot software.
He added, "Without him and our team...we'd just be another car company looking for an autonomy supplier that doesn't exist."
Musk's praise for Ashok came as the latter supported a $56 billion pay for Musk.
About Ashok Elluswamy:
Ashok did his BE from College of Engineering Guindy, Chennai and MSc from Carnegie Mellon University. He was the first person recruited from Musk's tweet saying that Tesla is starting an Autopilot team.
He's been at Tesla for 10+ years.
Sam Altman hailed Indian talent:
Last month, OpenAl unveiled its latest flagship Al model, GPT-40, that can reason across voice, text, and vision.
Dhariwal led the team that made it possible.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman had revealed his identity to the world for the first time.
"GPT-40 would not have happened without the vision, talent, conviction, and determination of Prafulla Dhariwal over a long period of time. That, along with the work of many others, led to what I hope will turn out to be a revolution in how we use computers," wrote Altman.
