In response to alleged harassment by Elon Musk, OpenAI has filed a countersuit seeking legal protection against Musk's actions and interference in the company's transition to a for-profit model. Musk and OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, co-founded the company in 2015, but Musk parted ways before it gained prominence. Musk's attempts to impede OpenAI's transition, including through press attacks and legal claims, have led to the current legal dispute. OpenAI is seeking court intervention to halt Musk's alleged disruptive behavior and hold him accountable for any damages caused. A jury trial is scheduled for next spring. OpenAI has accused Musk of using bad-faith tactics to disrupt their progress and seize control of AI innovations for personal gain. Musk's AI firm, xAI, recently acquired a social media company valued at $33 billion, enabling the sharing of its worth with investors. The lawsuit concerns OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, which it deems necessary for fundraising and competing effectively in the AI industry. Altman has refuted Musk's claims and rejected a takeover bid, emphasizing that OpenAI is not up for sale.
