'This doesn't seem like suicide': Elon Musk on OpenAI whistleblower's death - Business Standard

Elon Musk backed the allegation of foul play in the death of 26-year-old former OpenAI researcher Suchir Balaji, who was found dead after accusing OpenAI of violating copyright laws.

Poornima Rao, the mother of the OpenAI researcher, raised concerns about the investigation conducted by the San Francisco Police Department, which ruled her son's death a suicide. She alleged that her son was murdered and demanded an FBI investigation.

In response to Poornima Rao's post on X, Elon Musk stated, "This doesn't seem like a suicide."

Rao's post on X stated that her son's death was a "cold-blooded murder declared by authorities as suicide."

She revealed that a private autopsy report differed from the initial report by the police. She also noted that Balaji's apartment appeared to have been "ransacked" and that signs of a struggle in the bathroom suggested he had been hit.
