Summary

Elon Musk has filed a court injunction to block OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit business and prevent it from allegedly restricting investors from supporting competitors like his AI startup, xAI.

Musk accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations, claiming they used “group boycotts” to limit funding for rivals while benefitting from shared sensitive information.

OpenAI dismissed the allegations as baseless. The legal battle reflects escalating competition in the booming generative AI industry, valued at $157 billion, with Musk’s xAI emerging as a new challenger.

    I mean give OpenAi refused to sell to Musk, and Musk has his own competing product (Gronk) - I think he wants just one of them to implode. Might be able to accomplish that with four years in office, definitely will if this “team” manages to stay around longer.

      Thank you, that’s a much better name. Considering the one thing it can’t do is grok anything.
