Sounds like his talking backfired.

"We need to regulate AI! No, not that much!"

There's no way OpenAI will quit EU and leave it for competitors to take, easy bluff to call. The whole thing makes it seem like the desire for AI-related regulation isn't ethics motivated and is instead only trying to make it harder for competition to start.

Precisely, it's a very transparent attempt at regulatory capture. Utterly disgusting.
