Elon Musk, known for his radical personality, recently sued OpenAI. Musk alleges that the company has strayed significantly from its founding purpose and argues that CEO Sam Altman should be removed from his position immediately. The management of OpenAI has finally broken its silence regarding the lawsuit.
It is claimed that Musk aimed to profit from the non-profit artificial intelligence vision during his tenure at the company and left when he couldn’t achieve that goal. The polemic that has rocked Silicon Valley is likely to continue to be on the agenda. Here are all the details…
Tension continues between OpenAI and Elon Musk
Those who claim that OpenAI executives will refute all of Musk’s allegations also suggest that the company could initiate a comprehensive counter-lawsuit. It is known that in 2015, the entrepreneur, who supported the establishment of the company, planned to allocate a budget of $1 billion instead of the required $100 million, but this proposal was not accepted. Additionally, it is alleged that Musk’s contribution to the company was not as significant as anticipated, amounting to around $45 million.
OpenAI alleges that Musk said in 2017 that if the company did not raise sufficient funds, it would not achieve its goals. When the organization decided to turn its establishment into a commercial entity, Musk insisted on having the majority shares, but this request was not accepted. The entrepreneur even withdrew his financial support.
Elon Musk, who continues to make headlines with his lawsuit incidents, has been officially sued by former Twitter executives.
The OpenAI management, believing that giving all power to a single person would be a mistake, thus took a stand against Musk. It is even alleged that Musk wanted to directly link the company to Tesla during that period.
