Ray Wang, founder of Constellation Research, explains how Elon Musk and Openai’s Sam Altman battle began to “make money.”
Openai escalated the legal battle Elon Musk He has rebutted Tesla and Xai CEOs, claiming in the lawsuit they have “explored all the tools available to inflict harm.”
Filed Wednesday in US District Court in California comes when ChatGpt makers are retreating Lawsuit from mask They want Openai to prevent it from moving into a for-profit structure. According to Reuters, the judge recently said the lawsuit would head to ju trial next spring.
“Elon’s non-stop action against us is a bad faith tactic to slow Openai and take control of major AI innovations for his personal gain. Today we rebutted to stop him,” Openai announced at X.

The countersuit began by saying that Musk worked with Openai’s founder to help launch the organization as a nonprofit, but in 2017 and 2018 they refused to succumb to “Musk’s demands for managing the company, or to the absorption of Musk’s electric vehicle company Tesla.”
“So Musk declared that the open would fail without him and that he would focus on the development of AI at Tesla,” it continued. “A few years later, in 2022, Openai launched ChatGpt, an AI chatbot that attracts attention and users on an unprecedented scale. ChatGpt led Openai to a new spotlight. The mask had nothing to do with it.”
“Musk was unacceptable to see such success for the corporations he abandoned and declared his destiny. He made his project to defeat Open and build a direct competitor who grabbed technical leads for Elon Musk, not humanity,” the lawsuit added.

December 2024, Musk asked the court. To stop Openai from moving to a for-profit organization, Reuters reported. He also submitted an unsolicited bid of $97.4 billion earlier this year to take over Openai, which was rejected.
“The next campaign was obsessive. Through news attacks, malicious campaigns broadcast to more than 200 million followers on Musk’s social media platform, demand for fake claims, harassment of legal claims, and false bids on Openai’s assets have tried all the tools available to harm Openai.
“Openai is resilient and the core employees, investors and partners of its mission recognize that Musk’s claims are just as unworthy as being selfish. But Musk’s actions have been sacrificed.
