Lawsuit Dismissed Without Prejudice Elon Musk has withdrawn his lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman, two of the company's co-founders, in California state court. The lawsuit, which was filed in February, alleged breach of contract and fiduciary duty. A hearing was scheduled for Wednesday in San Francisco, but Musk filed to dismiss the suit just one day after criticizing OpenAI and its partnership with Apple. The case has been dismissed without prejudice, which means that Musk could refile it later if he chooses. Questionable Legal Foundation Experts have expressed doubts about the legal foundation of Musk's lawsuit, as the contract at the heart of the suit was not a formal written agreement signed by all parties involved. Musk claimed that the early OpenAI team intended to develop artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity, but that the project has since become a for-profit entity primarily controlled by Microsoft. However, the court may have found this argument unconvincing, as OpenAI is a private company that has always had the goal of generating revenue. Musk's Criticism of OpenAI Musk's decision to file the lawsuit came shortly after he publicly criticized OpenAI and its partnership with Apple. On Twitter, Musk accused OpenAI of "training AI to be woke" and suggested that the company's technology could be dangerous. These comments indicate that Musk may have been motivated by concerns about the direction of OpenAI's work, rather than a breach of contract. OpenAI's partnership with Apple has also sparked controversy, as some critics have questioned whether the company's technology will be used responsibly by the tech giant.
