it House News on March 7, Elon Musk recently stated in x that he would withdraw the lawsuit against openai if it agreed to change its name to "closedai".
Musk previously filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, claiming that they violated the original contractual agreement between the two parties regarding the development of artificial intelligence.
openai was quick to push back on Musk's accusations, saying the conflict centered around discussions surrounding a shift toward a for-profit structure. Openai said that Musk had proposed merging with Tesla or completely controlling Openai, but these requests were not consistent with Openai's mission.
it House once reported that Openai released a long blog "openai and elon musk" yesterday, explaining the relationship between Openai and Musk and why Musk finally left.
In response, Musk issued a direct challenge: "Change the name to closedai and I will drop the lawsuit." Musk further criticized openai, saying the organization needed to abandon its "hypocritical pretense."
openai disclosed in the above blog post that Musk had proposed conditions for obtaining a majority stake in openai, initial board control and the CEO position. However, talks allegedly stalled after Musk withdrew financial support, and Openai rejected his proposal.
openai co-founders, including greg brockman, ilya sutskever, john schulman, sam altman and woy Wojciech Zaremba insists they cannot support a deal that gives absolute control to any individual as it goes against the ethos of their organisation.
Musk subsequently left OpenAI, citing the need for a strong competitor to Google/DeepMind and saying he would tackle the challenge independently.
