Elon Musk asks court to stop OpenAI from becoming a for-profit

Elon Musk accused OpenAI and Microsoft of anticompetitive practices in a new filing that seeks to stop OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit model.

Musk first sued OpenAI earlier this year for allegedly violating its founding mission of building AI “for the benefit of humanity,” but withdrew the lawsuit a few months later. “OpenAI’s path from a non-profit to for-profit behemoth is replete with per se anticompetitive practices, flagrant breaches of its charitable mission, and rampant selfdealing,” it states. In statement shared with Engadget in response to Musk’s latest filing, an OpenAI spokesperson said, “Elon’s fourth attempt, which again recycles the same baseless complaints, continues to be utterly without merit.”
