OpenAI claps back at Elon Musk's 'incoherent' lawsuit, says he's jealous of the company's success without him

Mar 12, 2024 - businessinsider.com
OpenAI has labeled Elon Musk's lawsuit against them as "incoherent" and "contradictory" in a recent legal filing. Musk's lawsuit alleges that OpenAI breached its "founding agreement" and is at risk of violating its nonprofit mission through its partnership with Microsoft. However, OpenAI denies the existence of such an agreement and accuses Musk of using the lawsuit to further his own commercial interests. The company also suggests that Musk is envious of OpenAI's success without him and is attempting to claim credit for it.

OpenAI's filing calls for a swift dismissal of the case and a "complex" designation to expedite the process. Legal experts believe Musk's case is weak and likely to be dismissed before reaching trial. This is not the first time OpenAI has refuted Musk's claims, having previously released emails showing Musk's agreement to the company's for-profit shift. Musk, who left OpenAI's board in 2018, has since launched his own AI startup, xAI, and has repeatedly criticized OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman.

Key takeaways:

  • OpenAI has called Elon Musk's lawsuit against them 'incoherent' and 'contradictory', accusing Musk of using the lawsuit to advance his own commercial interests.
