Elon Musk Files Injunction Against OpenAI's For-Profit Shift with Microsoft, Citing xAI Concerns
Nov 30, 2024, 08:45 PM
Elon Musk has filed for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, Microsoft, and several key board members to halt OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model. Musk argues that this shift undermines OpenAI's original nonprofit mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. He claims that the organization's close partnership with Microsoft prioritizes profit over public good and alleges that OpenAI is discouraging investors from supporting rival companies, such as xAI. The legal action raises concerns about anti-competitive behavior and the potential implications for the AI industry as a whole.
