Elon Musk has taken legal action to prevent OpenAI from transitioning into a for-profit entity, accusing the organization of abandoning its founding mission. Now, OpenAI is firing back, claiming that Musk is trying to damage the company to set it back and benefit his xAI, a competing AI venture. Also, according to the New York Times, OpenAI claims that Musk wanted to transform OpenAI into a for-profit company and gain financially.
"I believe pretty strongly that Elon will do the right thing and that it would be profoundly un-American to use political power to the degree that Elon would hurt competitors and advantage his own businesses," Altman told the New York Times.
