Elon Musk Backtracks, Requests Court to Dismiss OpenAI Lawsuit

Daniel Kim Views  

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has made a surprising move by requesting to dismiss his impending lawsuit against OpenAI. This is unexpected, given that Musk had warned of significant security threats posed by Apple, which recently partnered with OpenAI, and even talked about banning Apple devices within his company. According to Bloomberg and Reuters, Musk’s lawyers have asked the San Francisco Superior Court to dismiss the lawsuit against OpenAI, which was set to begin the next day. Neither Musk nor his lawyers have provided a reason for the dismissal request. Reuters suggested that a dismissal could pave the way for a potential re-litigation before the lawsuit begins.

Musk, one of the co-founders of OpenAI, severed all ties and divested his shares in 2018. At the time of OpenAI’s establishment in 2015, he aimed to create Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) for the benefit of humanity alongside Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. Musk has claimed that OpenAI has broken its promise to remain non-profit and to open-source its developed technologies. On the other hand, OpenAI has refuted these claims, stating that Musk supported making Open-Ai for a for-profit company since 2017 and that there was never a promise or contract to make their technologies open-source at the time of its founding.

Since filing the lawsuit against OpenAI, Musk has continued his aggressive rhetoric against ChatGPT and Altman. Just the day before, he publicly told Apple CEO Tim Cook, who had introduced ChatGPT, that he would ban the use of Apple devices within his business due to “creepy spyware.”
