Elon Musk Claims Falling Out With Larry Page
Elon Musk argues he provided $44 million to OpenAI during its tenure as a non-profit. Defense attorneys presented texts and emails during cross-examination suggesting Musk's own AI company, xAI, partially used code from OpenAI. The case involves Musk's claim that co-founders prioritized profit over the company's founding mission. Elon Musk testified in a lawsuit against the makers of ChatGPT in Oakland, California, on Wednesday. Musk is attempting to argue that he helped establish the organization because it was originally set up as a nonprofit entity. Elon Musk commented on the relationship between OpenAI's nonprofit origins and its current for-profit structure. Musk stated that establishing OpenAI as a nonprofit provided a "halo effect" but argued the current setup is contradictory. He noted that the nonprofit still maintains control over the for-profit entity.
