After taking multiple shots at Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and its co-founder Bill Gates, Elon Musk is now “sad” because Bing is finally becoming relevant.
What Happened: On Thursday, Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) co-founder Billy Markus, popularly known as Shibetoshi Nakamoto, said that Microsoft’s search engine, Bing, is finally “becoming relevant after 13 years of being completely pointless” on the back of a $10 billion investment “in a company intended to be a non-profit.”

Markus was referring to Microsoft’s investment in OpenAI which started in 2019 and added $10 billion to the tally earlier this year.
Musk responded to his tweet and said that this entire affair makes him sad.
Naturally, netizens were quick to react to this exchange; some also used OpenAI’s GPT-4 to create a “funny” tweet.
GPT-4 compared Bing with a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Productions, saying, “Goes to show that with the right funding, even the most irrelevant search can have a Cinderella moment.”
