OpenAI Fires Back Against Musk, Claims He Wanted An OpenAI For-Profit
In a recent development, OpenAI has fired back against Elon Musk’s lawsuit by claiming that the billionaire entrepreneur had initially proposed creating a for-profit version of OpenAI in 2017. According to OpenAI, Musk wanted to transform its non-profit mission into a profit-driven entity.
This shocking revelation comes as part of OpenAI’s counterclaim in response to Musk’s legal action against it. The company has maintained that its decision to become a for-profit organization is justified and that Musk’s complaints are nothing but a case of sour grapes.
In an email chain published by TechCrunch, OpenAI claims that Musk had proposed the transformation in 2017, but ultimately failed to secure majority equity. As a result, he walked away from the table.
“OpenAI has great respect for Elon’s accomplishments and gratitude for his early contributions to OpenAI, but he should be competing in the marketplace rather than the courtroom,” the company stated.
It appears that this new information may have significant implications for Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI.
