Musk Takes OpenAI to Court Over AI Turf War

On December 3, 2024, Elon Musk sued OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Microsoft, accusing them of anticompetitive tactics and abandoning OpenAI’s 2015 nonprofit mission. Musk argues that OpenAI’s 2019 shift to a for-profit model and its $1B Microsoft partnership stifles competitors like his startup xAI. OpenAI calls the claims baseless, intensifying the tech rivalry. This legal clash could reshape the competitive landscape of the booming AI industry.
