The feud between Musk and OpenAI is still escalating.
Musk recently submitted a new lawsuit to continue suing OpenAI.
In August of this year, Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Ultraman, arguing that OpenAI has now abandoned its original intention and no longer pursued the public interest of benefiting the world, but has become a commercial company seeking personal gain. In the new lawsuit, Musk argues that OpenAI is attempting to monopolize the market for generative artificial intelligence and states that OpenAI is sacrificing security to promote the military application of AI technology, which could pose significant risks.
It is worth noting that Musk's artificial intelligence company, xAI, is about to complete a $6 billion (approximately RMB 43.487 billion) financing round, and xAI's valuation has also reached $50 billion.
Musk increases litigation
Recently, Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI has escalated again, accusing OpenAI of conspiring with Microsoft to monopolize the market for generative artificial intelligence (AIGC) and illegally exclude competitors. On the basis of the lawsuit filed in August, Musk added more antitrust charges and listed Microsoft and California Attorney General Bonta as defendants. The new complaint is 107 pages long, an increase of over 20 pages compared to the original complaint.

In the latest revised lawsuit, Musk accuses OpenAI of transforming from a non-profit organization to a profit oriented company, driven by massive capital injections from external investors such as Microsoft. Musk stated that OpenAI had originally promised to open up artificial intelligence technology and use it for the benefit of humanity, but has now abandoned this original intention and prioritized profits over the public interest.
The revised complaint lists 26 litigation items, totaling 107 pages, while the original 83 page complaint only had 15 items. The lawsuit points out that OpenAI, in collaboration with Microsoft, attempted to exclude emerging companies such as Musk's xAI by reaching agreements with investors to prohibit investment funds from flowing to its competitors. The lawsuit claims that Microsoft and OpenAI's monopoly in the field of artificial intelligence has become increasingly apparent, and they have even begun to attract AI talent through improper means, investing a large amount of funds in employee salaries to cut off competitors' resource channels.

In the amended lawsuit submitted to the court on Thursday evening, Musk's lawyer wrote, "Microsoft and OpenAI are clearly dissatisfied, or almost dissatisfied, with their monopoly position in the field of generative artificial intelligence, and are now actively trying to eliminate competitors such as xAI by making investors promise not to fund them
In addition, Musk expressed concerns about OpenAI's military industry cooperation, pointing out that the company has begun contractual cooperation with the US Department of Defense and removed clauses that previously prohibited the use of AI technology for military development. He stated that OpenAI is sacrificing security to promote the militarized application of AI technology, which could pose significant risks.
OpenAI has strongly refuted Musk's lawsuit, stating that Musk's allegations are "baseless and overly far fetched," and providing email evidence to prove that Musk had previously supported OpenAI's profit model. OpenAI also stated that Musk's lawsuit is an "increasingly intense harassment" behavior aimed at creating trouble for its competitive advantage.
Musk's lawsuit specifically mentions that the partnership between Microsoft and OpenAI essentially constitutes an unapproved corporate merger, violating US antitrust laws. The lawsuit demands that the court revoke the exclusive licensing agreement between Microsoft and OpenAI and force the two companies to divest "improperly obtained" profits.
OpenAI, co founded by Elon Musk and current CEO Sam Ultraman in 2015, has grown from a non-profit organization dedicated to public welfare to a commercial giant with a market value of over $150 billion through multiple rounds of funding injections. Especially Microsoft's investment in OpenAI has rapidly expanded the company's market share in the field of generative AI, making it a leader in the industry.
The disagreement between Musk and OpenAI has been long-standing. As a co-founder of OpenAI, Musk has publicly criticized OpenAI for gradually deviating from its original purpose of "benefiting humanity". After founding xAI, he regarded it as a competitor to OpenAI and sought to challenge OpenAI's dominant position in the AI field.
At present, the cooperation between OpenAI and Microsoft in the field of generative AI is still ongoing, but with the further development of the lawsuit, the legal confrontation between the two sides may intensify, especially in anti-monopoly and market competition issues. Musk's legal team has stated that they will continue to push for this lawsuit to expose OpenAI and Microsoft's improper behavior in the AI market.
In response to this case, the California Attorney General's Office stated that it is reviewing the content of the lawsuit and will provide an appropriate response in court. Microsoft refused to comment on this case.
At present, the conflict between Musk and OpenAI is not limited to the legal aspect, but also involves the future development direction of AI technology, especially the potential risks in security and military applications. With the advancement of this lawsuit, the competitive landscape of the artificial intelligence industry may also undergo profound changes as a result.
Dogecoin lawsuit case ends
As the lawsuit between Musk and OpenAI escalates, he has made new progress in another legal dispute. According to reports, a lawsuit accusing Musk of manipulating Dogecoin has officially ended. Investors have withdrawn their appeal and abandoned their request for sanctions against Musk's lawyer, marking the end of this long-standing legal battle.
It is reported that this lawsuit was filed by cryptocurrency investors, who accused the world's richest man Musk and his electric car company Tesla of fraud and insider trading. Investors had previously requested an appeal against the judge's decision to dismiss the case on August 29, 2023, and requested sanctions against Musk's lawyers, accusing them of interfering with the case during the appeal process, including demanding high legal fees.
At present, the investor has decided to withdraw the appeal and abandon the sanction request against Musk's lawyer. The investor initially demanded a claim of $258 billion and amended the indictment four times within two years. According to the latest agreement submitted to the Manhattan Federal Court, both parties agree to withdraw the appeal and related sanction requests. This agreement requires approval from US District Judge Alvin Hulstein. As of Friday local time, neither Musk nor investors' lawyers have made any latest comments on this matter.
Judge Hulestan has stated in his ruling that investors cannot prove securities fraud solely based on Musk's tweets, including Musk's claim that Dogecoin is the future currency of Earth and that his company SpaceX can send Dogecoin to the moon. The judge also stated that he failed to understand the market manipulation and insider trading allegations raised by investors.
