Elon Musk’s attorneys filed for an injunction against OpenAI and Microsoft on Friday, accusing them of anticompetitive practices. He wants to stop OpenAI’s conversion to a for-profit company. Musk first sued OpenAI earlier this year for allegedly violating its founding mission of building AI “for the benefit of humanity,” but he withdrew the lawsuit a few months later. He filed another lawsuit against OpenAI in a California federal court in August.
The third time’s the charm and all: Musk’s new motion accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of telling investors not to fund OpenAI’s competitors, such as Musk’s xAI, of “benefitting from wrongfully obtained competitively sensitive information or coordination” through its relationship with Microsoft.
