Elon Musk

<p>In the latest development, Elon Musk has withdrawn his lawsuit complaint accusing <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-sues-sam-altman-openai-over-breach-of-agreement/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman</a> of breaching the company’s founding promise of prioritizing humanity over profits.</p>
<p>Just a day before a California judge was scheduled to hear OpenAI’s motion for dismissal, the billionaire withdrew his complaint. Musk had alleged that the company had transformed into a “de facto subsidiary” of Microsoft Corp., contravening the original agreement to operate as a non-profit organization focused on developing artificial intelligence for the betterment of humanity.</p>

<p>The conflict between OpenAI and Musk has been widely covered long before the legal proceedings. Musk was among the initial supporters and co-founders of the startup but later severed ties with the organization.</p>
<p>OpenAI countered Musk’s claims by asserting that he had previously supported the company’s transition to a for-profit entity and encouraged it to seek substantial funding. OpenAI refuted any allegations of breaching a founding agreement or committing to make its technology open-source, as Musk has asserted.</p>
<p>In the past year, Musk launched his own <a href="https://coingape.com/elon-musk-xai-secures-6-bln-series-b-funding-more-upgrades-loom/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">AI venture, xAI</a>, as a direct competitor to OpenAI. Recently, xAI secured a substantial $6 billion Series B funding round, attracting investment from prominent firms like Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and Fidelity Management &amp; Research Company.</p>
<p>According to its website, xAI is driven by a mission to “understand the true nature of the universe.” Notably, the company introduced <a href="https://coingape.com/grayscale-bitcoin-etf-records-121m-outflows-amid-falling-asset-price/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Grok, a chatbot</a> inspired by “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” last year. Grok underwent an extensive two-month training period before its debut and comes with real-time knowledge of the internet.</p>

<p>Elon Musk didn’t explain regarding his sudden change of heart and why he decided to withdraw the OpenAI lawsuit. However, in his recent message on x platform, Musk said that he would speak on this later.</p>
