The ongoing legal battle between OpenAI and its co-founder Elon Musk is now getting even hotter. In a counter-suit filed in court on Wednesday, OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman accused Musk of harassment and defamation. OpenAI has asked the court to stop Musk’s “unlawful and improper activities.”
What is the matter?
Musk and Altman started OpenAI in 2015, but parted ways before Musk became the company’s rising star.
In 2023, Musk started his own AI company, xAI.
