Elon Musk has shared a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, “Change your Name to ClosedAI, and I will be ready to drop the lawsuit.” Musk has also shared an edited photo of Sam Altman, in which he is seen wearing a guest ID card with ClosedAI details along with the OpenAI logo.
Elon Musk was the co-founder of OpenAI in 2015 when they started working on ChatGPT but left the company in 2018. Musk says the company breached its contractual agreements in 2015 when he helped the startup. The company is not following the basic foundation on which it was built, as its main focus is more profits instead of benefitting humans.
In response, OpenAI revealed many private emails with Elon Musk in a blog post and said, “We are sad that this comes to this point with the person we admire a lot. Someone who inspired us to aim higher and then said we would fail and leave us and started a competitor, and now when we are making meaningful progress towards the company’s mission without him, he sued us.”
The company also revealed that in 2017, we all understood that we needed much more investment—billions of dollars a year—to accomplish our company’s milestones, far more than any of us, so we thought to raise money as a nonprofit.
OpenAI further adds that Elon Musk has suggested the company link it with Tesla as its cash cow. However, when we denied that, Musk left the company in February 2018, saying their success probability was 0.
