Elon Musk has filed a preliminary injunction to block OpenAI's planned shift to a fully for-profit business model, intensifying the ongoing legal dispute and marking Musk's fourth legal action against the company.
Key points:
The injunction aims to prevent OpenAI from changing its structure and transferring assets, seeking to maintain the company’s original non-profit status.
The lawsuit targets several parties, including OpenAI, Sam Altman, Microsoft, and former board members, accusing them of improperly sharing competitive information.
Musk also highlights OpenAI’s 'self-dealing,' particularly its use of Stripe as a payment processor, in which Altman holds significant financial investments.
Additionally, Musk claims that OpenAI has discouraged investors from supporting competitors like xAI by imposing restrictive investment conditions.
OpenAI has dismissed Musk’s latest legal move as a “recycling of the same baseless complaints,” calling it “without merit.”
Why it matters: The legal conflict between Musk and OpenAI continues to unfold. While Musk’s actions have been criticized as personal retaliation, OpenAI's complex structure and financial dealings have long attracted scrutiny. As OpenAI works to secure its $150 billion valuation and close major investments, this injunction could disrupt its plans.
