OpenAI Accuses Elon Musk of Harassment
OpenAI filed a motion to dismiss Elon Musk’s lawsuit on October 8, alleging that he uses the legal system to “harass” the company and promote his xAI venture.
The artificial intelligence company is requesting that Musk’s case be dismissed.
Musk claimed that OpenAI had abandoned its “not-for-profit” foundation when he filed a lawsuit against the business in February. At the time, the AI community debated the validity of the company’s business model due to concerns about the company’s possible shift to a “for profit” model, as detailed in the lawsuit.
Musk, however, withdrew that case in June and then filed a new one in August.
Musk’s legal team filed the August lawsuit, claiming that OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman had “assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture, OpenAI, Inc.” and had “intentionally courted and deceived Musk, preying on Musk’s humanitarian concern about the existential dangers posed by artificial intelligence.”
In its filing dated October 9, the company requests that the judge overseeing the lawsuit dismiss the lawsuit altogether. According to the company’s legal staff, the billionaire’s assertions are unfounded, which also believes that Musk is harassing the business through the judicial system.
The lawsuit is “the latest move in Elon Musk’s increasingly blustery campaign to harass the company for his competitive advantage,” according to OpenAI’s legal team.
The document further claims that Musk “abandoned the venture when his bid to dominate it failed,” despite having “once supported OpenAI” in its endeavors. In the document, the company further claims that Musk is abusing the legal system to boost the competitiveness of his own business:
“Since launching a competing artificial intelligence company, xAI, Musk has been trying to leverage the judicial system for an edge. The effort should fail; Musk’s complaint does not state a claim and should be dismissed.”
According to the petition to dismiss, a court date for the civil claim has been set for November 12 at the federal courthouse in Oakland, California.
