OpenAI has responded to a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk, saying Musk supported a closed-source, for-profit venture but wanted total control over it.

OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk’s lawsuit by saying that he at one point wanted “absolute control” of the company by merging it with Tesla. In a blog post published on Tuesday, OpenAI said it will move to dismiss “all of Elon’s claims” and offered its own counter-narrative to his account of the company abandoning its original mission as a nonprofit.

In so doing, his suit claims that OpenAI abandoned its original nonprofit mission that he helped fund. In Musk’s view, this constitutes a breach of a contract. While Musk’s complaint mentions an OpenAI “founding agreement,” no formal agreement has been made public yet, and OpenAI’s post did not directly address the question of whether one existed.
