OpenAI fires back against Musk, claims he wanted an OpenAI for-profit
Artificial intelligence startup OpenAI has fired back at Elon Musk in their ongoing legal battle, releasing a series of emails that the company claims show Musk’s true intentions. According to OpenAI, Musk initially proposed creating a for-profit version of OpenAI in 2017.
In its latest filing, OpenAI maintains that it was always Musk’s plan to turn OpenAI into a profitable business, which is why he walked away when his proposal to make the company a commercial venture failed. The startup’s founders and investors have repeatedly pushed back against Musk’s claims, arguing that the billionaire simply didn’t get his way.
Musk, through his AI-focused startup xAI, has filed multiple lawsuits against OpenAI in recent months, alleging that the company is deliberately stunting its growth by refusing to allow it to raise capital. The lawsuit has sparked a heated debate about the future of AI and the role of major investors in shaping the industry’s trajectory.
OpenAI’s latest filings, however, suggest that Musk’s concerns are rooted in his own disappointment over his proposal for OpenAI to become a for-profit venture being rejected by the startup’s founders and investors.
