Elon Musk Unexpectedly Drops Case Against OpenAI

Elon Musk has unexpectedly asked a California court to withdraw a legal case against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman, after accused them of abandoning the firm’s founding mission of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for humanity’s benefit.

The filing submitted by the multi-billionaire’s lawyers asked for the months-old case to be dropped without offering any reason for the move.

It came just a day before the court was expected to hear the ChatGPT-developer’s bid to have the case dismissed. BBC News has contacted Musk’s lawyer and OpenAI for comment.

The latest filing asked for the case’s dismissal “without prejudice”, meaning Musk could still reactivate it at a later stage.

The Tesla boss filed the lawsuit against OpenAI at the end of February this year, arguing the company he had helped found in 2015 had deviated from its altruistic goals to focus on making money.
