Elon Musk dropped his Open AI lawsuit, but he isn't done with Sam Altman and the AI race yet

Jun 12, 2024 - businessinsider.com
Elon Musk has withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI and its co-founders, but he remains committed to winning the AI race. Musk's anger was evident when Apple announced its partnership with OpenAI, leading him to threaten a ban on Apple devices at his companies if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level. Despite Apple's assurances of privacy protections for users, Musk views the integration as an unacceptable security violation.

Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI may have been more about publicly criticizing the company and its co-founder, Sam Altman, than winning the case. Meanwhile, Musk has been repositioning his companies, including Tesla, for the AI age and his AI startup, xAI, recently raised $6 billion in a Series B funding round, making it the second-most valuable AI company behind OpenAI.

Key takeaways:

  • Elon Musk has withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI and its cofounders but remains committed to winning the AI race.
  • Musk has threatened to ban Apple devices at his companies if Apple integrates OpenAI at the OS level, citing it as an unacceptable security violation.
  • Musk has been repositioning his companies for the AI age, pitching Tesla as an 'AI or robotics company' and raising $6 billion for his AI startup xAI, making it the second-most valuable AI company behind OpenAI.
  • The withdrawal of the lawsuit might have been more about publicly challenging OpenAI and its cofounders rather than winning the case.
