OpenAI accuses Elon Musk of harassment, smear campaign over lawsuit
Summary
The legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI intensified on Monday with the start of a trial linked to Musk's 2024 lawsuit. Musk claims OpenAI deviated from its mission to build AI for humanity by prioritizing profits. In response, OpenAI published a blog post countering Musk's claims, accusing him of harassment and a smear campaign. Musk has posted several allegations on X, including that Sam Altman failed to disclose ownership of the OpenAI Startup Fund and that he and Greg Brockman stole a charity. OpenAI argues Musk's actions are driven by jealousy and a desire to derail a competitor, noting that he previously demanded full control of the company and proposed merging it with Tesla, which was rejected.
