Elon Musk is suing OpenAI again, accusing the company of departing from the original mission and violation of the RICO Act. The lawsuit targets the founders of OpenAI and its partnership with Microsoft, calling into question the tech giant's rights to artificial intelligence technologies.
Musk vs. OpenAI
A new round of legal confrontation
Elon Musk, known for his unpredictability, is changing course again with OpenAI. After withdrawing the March lawsuit in June, the billionaire decided to resume prosecution of the company.
Allegations of Mission Violation
This time, Musk accuses OpenAI and its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, of backsliding from the original goal of developing AI for the benefit of humanity. The billionaire claims that he became a victim of manipulation and prolonged deception while participating in an allegedly non-profit project.
Legal aspects of the lawsuit
Musk's lawyer, Mark Toberoff, told The New York Times that the new lawsuit is more solid. It accuses OpenAI of violating the RICO Act and conspiring to defraud Elon Musk. Particular attention is paid to the contract with Microsoft, which, according to the plaintiff, should be canceled when the AGI level is reached.
History of the relationship between Musk and OpenAI
Musk was at the origins of OpenAI in 2015, but left the board of directors three years later. The reasons for leaving are interpreted differently: from refusal to become CEO to the desire to merge the company with Tesla. Since the release of ChatGPT, Elon has not ceased to criticize his former colleagues and their cooperation with Microsoft.
Musk's Controversial Position
In 2022, Musk signed an open letter calling for a six-month pause in AI development. However, it later turned out that at the same time he founded his own company in the field of artificial intelligence, which had already introduced the Grok chatbot.

Oh, this Elon Musk! 🙄 It feels like he doesn’t know what he wants. He goes to court, then changes his mind, then goes to court again. Do you think there is any point in his claims to OpenAI?
Hans
Isabella, I think Musk is just jealous of OpenAI's success. He himself couldn’t stay in the company, and now he’s trying to do harm. His Grok is not yet anywhere near ChatGPT. 🤖
Pierre
I don't agree with Hans. Musk raises important questions about the development of AI. OpenAI has truly moved away from its original mission. Cooperation with Microsoft raises questions. We need public control over the development of such powerful technologies. 🤔
Sofia
Pierre, you're right about the control. But isn’t Musk himself developing AI in his company? It turns out to be double standards. 🧐 I wonder how he would react if someone sued his AI projects?
Klaus
Pfft, another AI hype. All these Musks, OpenAI, Microsoft... It's just rich people sharing money and power. But for ordinary people this is neither hot nor cold. It would be better to deal with real problems, and not with virtual talkers. 😒
Alexia
Klaus, don't tell me! AI is already changing our lives. I recently used ChatGPT for work - it really saves time. Imagine what opportunities will open up with AGI! 🚀 It is important to follow the development of technology.
Matteo
I agree with Alexia. AI is the future. But Musk is right about one thing: it needs to be developed for the benefit of humanity. The question is: who will determine this good? 🌍 Maybe we need an international commission on AI ethics?
Olga
Matteo, great idea! 👍 An international commission could set standards and monitor their compliance. But how do you force large corporations to comply? That's the question... 🤷♀️
