#ElonMusk Set to Take Stand Soon in Blockbuster #OpenAI Trial

A lawyer for #Musk framed the consequential showdown with OpenAI as a moral issue [cuz Musk is so freaking “moral”]. A company lawyer said the case stemmed from Musk not getting his way.

#Musk, #SamAltman & other #AI “researchers” founded #OpenAI as a “nonprofit” in 2015, vowing to freely share its #technology with the rest of the world. But Musk left the start-up in 2018 after a power struggle with Altman — & before the public launch of #ChatGPT in 2022 catapulted OpenAI to commercial success.

#Musk sued #OpenAI in 2024, claiming that the nonprofit he funded with his own large donations took advantage of his financial resources. He also argued OpenAI breached its founding agreement by putting commercial interests over the public interest. [again, Musk has never been concerned about “public interest”]

@Nonilex I don't really care if musk is doing this for stupid reasons, I'm still glad it's happening....

@Nonilex dipshits suing dipshits

@Nonilex So if Musk wins his suit, it would legally establish that a nonprofit can't pivot to for-profit-effectively making every billionaire's philanthropic donation a binding contract for eternity.
