Elon Musk has decided to withdraw his lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman
Elon Musk has decided to withdraw his lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman – who accused the AI company of straying from its original mission to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity, rather than for profit .
Musk’s lawyers requested that the breach of contract lawsuit be dismissed without prejudice, according to documents filed in San Francisco Superior Court on June 11.
A dismissal without prejudice means the case will not be permanently dismissed, allowing Musk to file a new complaint in the future.
That came a day before a federal judge was set to decide whether to dismiss the case or allow it to move to the next step, according to previous court documents.
Musk did not provide a statement regarding his decision to drop the lawsuit.
Musk sued OpenAI and Altman on February 29, 2024 for breach of contract, claiming the company behind ChatGPT had strayed from its original mission to develop its large language models “for the benefit of humanity, not profit.” “.
His complaints specifically relate to OpenAI’s collaboration with tech giant Microsoft to develop artificial general intelligence (AGI) technology and the choice to release ChatGPT-4 in a closed manner.
At the time, Musk urged OpenAI to return to its open source principles and sought an injunction to prevent the profitable exploitation of its AGI technology.
Musk also filed claims of breach of fiduciary duty and unfair trade practices against OpenAI.

The billionaire’s latest initiative with OpenAI includes a partnership with Apple, which will see ChatGPT integrated into iPhone, iPad and Mac operating systems.
Musk says Apple’s move constitutes an “unacceptable security breach” against Apple users by outsourcing privacy and security to a third party like OpenAI.
However, Apple says that users’ IP addresses will remain obscure and that OpenAI will not store data requests.
When talking about the “privacy promise” provided by Apple Intelligence, Apple emphasized that “it knows your personal data without collecting your personal data.”
Musk helped launch AI-based chatbot Grok last November, aiming to compete with ChatGPT.
The company behind Grok, xAI, secured $6 billion in funding from firms including Valor Equity Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Fidelity Management & Research Company in late May.
