Elon Musk seeks to block OpenAI from changing its business structure, and discouraging deals to back competitors like xAI.
Elon Musk is asking a federal court to stop OpenAI from converting into a fully, for-profit business.In the filing, attorneys argued that OpenAI "cannot lumber about the marketplace as a Frankenstein, stitched together from whichever corporate forms serve the pecuniary interests of Microsoft."
Attorneys representing Musk, his AI startup xAI, and former OpenAI board member Shivon Zilis filed for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI on Friday. The injunction would also stop OpenAI from allegedly requiring its investors to refrain from funding competitors, including xAI and others. In mid-November, they expanded their complaint to include allegations that Microsoft and OpenAI had violated antitrust laws when the Chat GPT-maker allegedly asked investors to agree to not invest in rival companies, including Musk's newest startup, xAI.Musk is also asking the court to limit allegedly improper business advantages stemming from OpenAI's close relationship with Microsoft, its key backer and partner.
"Microsoft and OpenAI now seek to cement this dominance by cutting off competitors' access to investment capital , while continuing to benefit from years' worth of shared competitively sensitive information during generative AI's formative years," the lawyers wrote in the filing.
