Musk's lawsuit argues that OpenAI deviated from its founding agreement, but without a written contract, his case may struggle to pass a motion to dismiss. The released emails could be damaging to Musk if the case goes to trial, but this is considered unlikely. Instead, the emails are seen as a tool to combat Musk in the court of public opinion. Despite this, OpenAI may still face losses in terms of time and resources due to the lawsuit.
Key takeaways:
- OpenAI released emails that suggest Elon Musk agreed to the company's for-profit shift, potentially undermining Musk's lawsuit against the company.
- The emails indicate that Musk may have not only agreed with the move to a for-profit model but also pushed for it, contradicting his public statements and claims in his lawsuit.
- Experts believe these emails could significantly damage Musk's legal case and that it's unlikely his case would make it past a motion to dismiss.
- Despite the potential damage to Musk's lawsuit, OpenAI may still face negative impacts from the lawsuit in terms of lost time and resources.
