'Can't wait to start trial': Elon Musk slams OpenAI ahead of court case; Sam Altman responds
The gloves are off. Even before their legal battle, Elon Musk and Sam Altman took their fight to the online arena.
Musk has taken to X to reveal some alleged internal documents, including OpenAI president Greg Brockman's personal files, stating that they clearly show OpenAI leadership knew about plans to go for-profit well before they announced the intention publicly, and Musk and other stakeholders were deliberately misled.
In his court filings, Musk is quoted as saying that OpenAI should "remain a philanthropic endeavour." "Can't wait to start the trial. The discovery and testimony will blow your mind," Musk said on X. OpenAI hit back, posting its own notes from the calls that Musk refers to in the filings, which include his exact quotes, a large chunk of which are missing from the court filings."elon is cherry-picking things to make greg look bad, but the full story is that elon was pushing for a new structure, and greg and ilya spent a lot of time trying to figure out if they could meet his demands," (sic) Altman wrote on X, with a link to a detailed blog post by OpenAI, showing more call notes with Musk's quotes.Brockman also took to his social media to enter the discussion. "I have great respect for Elon, but the way he cherry-picked from my personal journal is beyond dishonest. Elon and we had agreed a for-profit was the next step for OpenAI's mission," (sic) he wrote.Musk has sued OpenAI, claiming that the artificial intelligence (AI) major has violated its original nonprofit mission, which the billionaire helped launch.
Despite OpenAI's attempts to get the case thrown out, a US federal judge ruled recently that the case should go to a jury trial. Jury selection will take place on April 27, and the trial will begin in May.
On social media, Musk has amplified his side with strong language, suggesting betrayal, deceit, and misaligned priorities, showing himself to be defending AI's openness and competition against commercial interests.
OpenAI's side
In its blog post, the ChatGPT maker said Musk was aware that the company was mulling a for-profit structure and had even discussed it back in 2017.
OpenAI also explained that its current structure includes both a nonprofit and a public benefit corporation (PBC), and the nonprofit still has significant governance rights.
It added that Musk left the organisation by choice when he couldn't get the terms he wanted, including full control.
Furthermore, OpenAI says the lawsuit has no merit and does not highlight any specific legal violations that would entitle Musk to the remedies he's asking for. The company had noted in some earlier filings that Musk supported a for-profit component back in 2018.
