Part 5/9:
Musk's lawsuit has evolved since it was filed in February 2024, with the addition of Federal antitrust claims against OpenAI and Microsoft. He argues that Microsoft is exerting excessive control over OpenAI, transforming it into a mere subsidiary rather than the independent research facility it was intended to be. This accusation is underscored by Musk's belief that OpenAI's transition compromises the ethical foundations upon which it was built.
In response, OpenAI has vehemently denied Musk's allegations, suggesting that he is merely attempting to disrupt their operations due to his own startup's difficulties. OpenAI emphasizes that Musk left the organization voluntarily and lacks any legal basis to dictate its operational direction.
