Elon Musk has filed a motion to dismiss OpenAI's counterclaims, claiming they are legally unfounded and indicative of the company's drift away from its charitable objectives. Musk emphasizes that his proposed $97.4 billion acquisition and associated communications are protected under the First Amendment. His attorney contends that OpenAI's actions demonstrate a departure from its initial mission, framing Musk's bid as a legitimate interest, not a personal vendetta as suggested by OpenAI. The case comes amid OpenAI's restructuring to maintain control within its nonprofit parent organization.
The nonprofit is nothing more than an inconvenience standing in the way of Altman's profit-driven ambitions, Musk's attorney Marc Toberoff argued in the filing.
OpenAI's counterclaims not only fail as a matter of law, they confirm OpenAI's betrayal of its charitable mission, and the public at large,
Musk's latest filing, submitted at the Northern District of California court, comes after OpenAI said that it would not transfer control away from its nonprofit after all.
Musk's legal team isn't convinced. In the Wednesday filing, they called the restructuring pivot a 'façade that changes nothing.'
