Altman's Lawyers Blast Musk: "Personal Vendetta" Against OpenAI

Sam Altman's lawyers have filed a new court document, intensely criticizing Elon Musk. They claim Musk is engaged in a personal vendetta against Altman and OpenAI. The filing, submitted on Wednesday, describes Musk as trying "every tool available to harm OpenAI." It suggests his actions stem from his inability to tolerate OpenAI's success after he abandoned the company in 2018. The lawyers state Musk made it his project to take down OpenAI and build a competitor, not for humanity, but for himself. OpenAI also posted on X, calling Musk's actions "bad-faith tactics" to slow them down and seize control of AI innovations for his personal benefit. They claim Musk tried to merge OpenAI with Tesla and left when he didn't get his way. A trial date for this lawsuit has been set for March 2026. This ongoing legal battle highlights significant tensions in the world of artificial intelligence development.
