Elon Musk’s intent to take control of OpenAI and merge it with Tesla are at the center of the fight between the controversial Tesla founder and the AI startup he helped get off the ground, but which is now being financed by Microsoft.
That’s what OpenAI argued in a blog post Wednesday co-authored by CEO Sam Altman and other key members of the company’s leadership team. The post shares Open AI’s side of the story after Musk filed a lawsuit against Altman and the company — the creator of ChatGPT — on claims of breach of its founding mission.
