Musk’s lawyers allege OpenAI and its leaders “intentionally courted and deceived” him into bankrolling the startup to the tune of more than $44 million in its early years.
Elon Musk filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman on Monday – just weeks afterThe case filed in California by Musk – who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but later exited its board due to disagreements over its direction – describes his dispute with Altman and others as a “textbook tale of altruism versus greed.”
The suit claims Altman and his allies said they would develop advanced AI for the benefit of mankind – only to ditch that mission in order to enrich itself and key investor Microsoft. “After Musk lent his name to the venture, invested significant time, tens of millions of dollars in seed capital, and recruited top AI scientists for OpenAI Inc., Musk and the non-profit’s namesake objective were betrayed by Altman and his accomplices,” the lawsuit says.Chinese-made humanoid robots raise alarms in Congress: 'Stealth army on our land'
The lawsuit accuses OpenAI, Altman and Brockman of fraud and breach of contract. Musk is seeking various forms of relief, including damages, disgorgement of profits related to his investment and a court ruling that blocks OpenAI’s licensing agreement with Microsoft — which has committed some $13 billion to the firm.“As we discussed a for-profit structure in order to further the mission, Elon wanted us to merge with Tesla or he wanted full control,” the blog post said.
