Summary
Elon Musk’s legal battle with OpenAI continues, with OpenAI filing a countersuit against Musk, accusing him of bad faith attempts to seize control of the company.
The lawsuit claims Musk’s attacks on OpenAI], including a rejected $100 billion takeover bid, are designed to slow down the company and seize control of its AI innovations.
OpenAI also alleged in December that Musk wanted the company to be profitable and criticised his bid as a sham.
The case, which centres on Musk’s claims that Altman mislead him and violated their contract when they parted ways in 2018, is set to go to trial in 2026.
OpenAI has highlighted that Musk has a stake in the company as he invested $1 billion in the firm in 2015, a year after it was founded.
Musk has previously stated that AI is a fundamental risk to the existence of civilisation andCriticised Altman and OpenAI for not being open enough.
This is not the only lawsuit Musk is currently facing, as Twitter is also suing him for $1 billion over his failed bid to buy the social media company.
