Elon Musk’s Lawyers Claim He ‘Does Not Use a Computer’


The claim appeared in a court filing related to Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI. The Tesla and xAI owner has posted about his laptop numerous times in the past year.

However, Musk has posted pictures or referred to his laptop on X several times in recent months, and public evidence suggests that he owns and appears to use at least one computer. Musk and his artificial intelligence startup xAI sued OpenAI in February 2024, alleging the company committed breach of contract by abandoning its founding agreement to develop AI “for the benefit of humanity,” choosing instead “to maximize profits for Microsoft.” In November 2022, during his tumultuous takeover of Twitter (now known as X), the mogul posted a picture of what appears to be a computer screen showing the interface of Mastodon, a rival federated social network.
