Elon Musk drops lawsuit after OpenAI published his emails

Lawyers filed a motion to dismiss Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, effectively ending their legal battle. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI, had accused the company of abandoning its nonprofit mission by reserving advanced AI technology for private customers. OpenAI refuted the claims, calling them “incoherent” and “frivolous.” Musk’s lawyers did not provide a reason for dropping the lawsuit. The move occurred after Musk criticized OpenAI on social media, following Apple’s announcement of a partnership with the AI company. The legal battle highlighted differing visions for OpenAI’s management and direction.
