Elon Musk targets Microsoft in amended OpenAI lawsuit


He can still find time in his busy schedule for lawsuits.

Microsoft has invested $14 billion in OpenAI since 2019 and holds exclusive rights to commercially license the AI startup’s technology and a 49 percent stake in its for-profit subsidiary. Musk’s lawyers say that former OpenAI CEO Sam Altman “engaged in rampant self-dealing” to create a “de facto merger” between the two companies to promote anticompetitive practices. xAI has also been added to the complaint as a new plaintiff, alongside former OpenAI board member Shivon Zilis — an executive at Musk’s Neuralink company and mother of three of his 12 children.
