OpenAI counter-sues Elon Musk for attempts to ‘take down’ AI rival

Openai launched a legal attack against one of its founders, Elon Musk, and the AI ​​Competition Project, XAI.

In the documents of the court submitted yesterday, Openai Musk is accused of coordinating the “uncompromising” and “harmful” campaign aimed at “downloading Openai” after leaving the organization years ago.

The court file, which was submitted to the American boycott court for the northern region of California, claims that Musk cannot bear the success of Openai after “gave up and declared [it] Constructed. “

Openai is now looking for legal treatments, including a judicial order to stop “illegal and fair action” from Musk and compensate for the damage that already caused.

The story of the origin of Openai and the departure of Elon Musk

Legal documents recounted Openai assets in 2015, which were crowned by the idea discussed by the current CEO Sam Tamman and president Greg Brockman to create a laboratory of artificial intelligence that focuses on developing artificial general intelligence (AGI) – Amnesty International is able to outperform human performance – in order to “benefit from all humanity.”

Musk participated at all, as he served on the first non -profit painting and pledged billion dollars in donations.

However, the relationship breaks. Openai claims that between 2017 and 2018, Musk’s demands for “absolute control” of the Foundation-or its potential absorption in Tesla-were rejected before Altman, Brookman and the capital of then Elia Sutsv. The deposit quoteskever quotes musk warning of the creation of “AGI dictatorship”.

After this dispute, Openai claims that Elon Musk resigned in February 2018, announcing that the project will fail without it and that it will continue to develop AGI in Tesla instead. It is very important that Openai claims that a billion dollars have been entrusted “was never satisfied – not even soon.”

Restructuring, success, and the alleged “harmful” campaign for musk

In the face of the escalating costs to calculate strength and maintain talents, Openai restructuring and established an “profit” entity in 2019 to attract investment while maintaining control by the uninteresting and associated council. This structure, or Openai, was publicly announced, and Musk displayed property rights in the new entity, but he refused and did not cause any objection at that time.

Openai highlights its subsequent penetrations-including GPT-3, Chatgpt and GPT-4-achieved a huge public adoption and cash praise. Obayye emphasizes these successes, after the departure of Elon Musk, and claimed that she had motivated his hostility.

Details of the deposit for the temporal sequence of alleged verbs by Elon Musk aims to harm Openai:

• Xai foundation: Musk “Created Quietly”, its competitor, Xai, in March 2023.
• Endowment call: Days later, Musk supported an invitation to stop development on artificial intelligence more advanced than GPT-4, and the Openai step was to “stop Openai while all others, most notably Musk, have been discovered.”
• Record request: Musk is allegedly “a catastrophic request” for secret Openai resources, which raises anxiety during the construction of Xai in secret.
• General attacks: Using the X (Twitter) social media platform, it is claimed that Musk broadcasts “press attacks” and “harmful campaigns” to its vast followers, describing Openai “a lie”, “evil” and “complete fraud”.
• Legal procedures: Musk filed lawsuits, first in the state court (later withdrawn), then the current federal procedure, based on what Openai rejects as indisputable allegations to violate “establishment”.
• Organizational pressure: Musk claims that the state lawyer urged the investigation of Openai and forcing the auction of assets.
• “The Levant Show”: In February 2025, a consortium, led by Musk, made an amount of $ 97.375 billion to Openai’s assets, Inc. Openai explodes as a “malicious show” and “a trick” that lacks evidence of financing and its pure design to disable Openaii operations, potential restructuring, donation collection, relationships with investors and employees, especially Openai also the development of its profit -covered arm in a public interest company (PBC). It is claimed that one of the concerned investors admitted that the purpose of the offer is to obtain “discovery”.

Based on these allegations, Openai confirms two initial anti -claims against both Elon Musk and Xai:

• Unjust competition: The claim that the “malicious offer” constitutes an unfair commercial practice under California, which aims to disrupt Openai and gain an unfair feature of Xai.
• Introducing the definition with a possible economic feature: The demand for a SMAL display intentionally disrupted the current and potential Openai relationships with investors, employees and clients.

Openai argues that Musk’s actions were forced to transfer resources and spend money, causing harm. They claim that his campaign threatens “irreplaceable damage” to their mission, governance and decisive commercial relationships. The deposit also affects the Xai safety registry, citing reports on Ai Grok that generate harmful and misleading content.

Counter -escalation in the legal battle between the pioneer of artificial intelligence and the co -founder. While Elon Musk initially filed a lawsuit against Openai on the pretext of betraying his non -profit and open source principles, Openai now claims that Musk behavior is an attempt to self -serve to undermine a competitor he could not control.

With billions at the test and the future trend of AGI in the scale, this conflict has not ended.
