OpenAI Fires Back Against Musk, Claims He Wanted an OpenAI For-Profit
In a bold move, OpenAI has fired back at billionaire Elon Musk, claiming that the entrepreneur actually wanted to turn the AI organization into a for-profit venture.
The claims come as part of ongoing legal battles between the two entities. Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI accuses the company of abandoning its original nonprofit mission and instead pursuing a profit-driven strategy.
However, in a series of emails released by OpenAI, it appears that Musk had initially proposed turning the organization into a for-profit entity back in 2017. When this didn’t come to fruition, Musk reportedly “walked away” from OpenAI.
The move is seen as a major blow to Musk’s credibility and an attempt to undermine his lawsuit. OpenAI claims that Musk is simply trying to “sue his way” to artificial general intelligence (AGI), rather than competing in the market like any other startup.
In recent months, Musk has been vocal about his disdain for OpenAI’s decision to transition into a for-profit entity. However, these new emails appear to show that he was once on board with the idea.
The dispute between the two parties is ongoing and is expected to continue to unfold in the coming weeks and months.
