Elon Musk: Judge Orders Tesla, SpaceX Emails in OpenAI Suit

A judge has ordered Elon Musk to provide business emails from Tesla and SpaceX. This is part of a lawsuit filed by Musk's companies, xAI and X, against Apple and OpenAI. US District Judge Mark Pittman overruled Musk's objections. He upheld an earlier decision requiring these communications. The court believes Musk's communications on Tesla and SpaceX accounts could be relevant. This is because evidence suggests Musk conducted X and xAI business through these accounts. For example, xAI's chief financial officer sent company financial updates to Musk's SpaceX email. Also, Musk discussed X and xAI matters through his Tesla and SpaceX emails. The court stated that because Musk owns and leads these companies, they must produce the records if they relate to the case. This ruling marks another challenge for Musk in this high-profile legal dispute.
