Musk Sues OpenAI, Claiming Breach of Agreement to Benefit Humanity

Musk sued OpenAI and Sam Altman, claiming breach of a 2015 "founding agreement" to benefit humanity, not profit. OpenAI called the lawsuit "frivolous."

PR experts say Musk has the upper hand over Altman in battling public opinion due to his celebrity status and history of controversy.

The lawsuit puts scrutiny on OpenAI while boosting Musk's AI startup xAI.

Altman has responded more respectfully than Musk, who experts say seems petty and self-interested.

Legal experts doubt Musk will win the lawsuit but it could still damage OpenAI's reputation.
