Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its chief executive Sam Altman, accusing the artificial intelligence company that he helped co-found of compromising its mission to benefit humanity.
The tech billionaire’s lawsuit filed in a California federal court comes two months after he abruptly withdrew a similar case in state court. The filing on Monday includes new allegations that Altman and his co-founder Greg Brockman broke federal racketeering laws.
“Altman and his longtime associate Brockman assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture,” only for them to switch to a for-profit mission as they deepened OpenAI’s relationship with Microsoft, the lawsuit alleged.
