Elon Musk has filed for an injunction against OpenAI co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, broadly designed to prevent the GenAI poster child from shifting towards an entirely for-profit business.
The businessman and political advisor has been pursuing a legal battle against the ChatGPT maker, linked to Microsoft by a $13 billion investment pipeline.to the list of defendants in his long-running legal dispute with OpenAI, claiming among other things that it had moved away from its original non-profit and open technology mission.
OpenAI told us at the time:"Elon's third attempt in less than a year to reframe his claims is even more baseless and overreaching than the previous ones. His prior emails continue to speak for themselves.
Before bringing LLMs to the mainstream, OpenAI was founded as a non-profit organization in 2015. The company later moved to become what it describes as a"partnership" between its original non-profit and a"capped profit arm."Musk's latest injunction claim is set to be heard in early January next year at the United States District Court, Northern District of California.
