Elon Musk to Sue OpenAI

During his virtual appearance at the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha on Tuesday, Elon Musk confirmed his plans to proceed with legal action against ChatGPT creator OpenAI. The billionaire entrepreneur stated plainly that he “intends to push ahead with his lawsuit against OpenAI.” However, he did not elaborate on specific details of the case during the forum.

Is @elonmusk pushing ahead with the lawsuit against OpenAI? "Yes. It was intended to be a non profit open source company and now they're trying to change that for their own financial benefit to a for profit company that is closed sourced." #QatarEconomicForum… pic.twitter.com/BalPQz2sti

This announcement comes amid Musk’s complex history with the AI research company. As one of OpenAI’s co-founders, Musk has previously expressed concerns about the organization’s shift from its original nonprofit mission to a more commercial model. The world’s richest man is no stranger to the crypto community, especially considering the impact he has had on the Dogecoin price in the past.

The Qatar Economic Forum also featured other notable discussions. This includes comments from Qatar’s prime minister who rejected claims that a jet gifted to US President Donald Trump constituted a bribe. The prime minister also announced upcoming incentives for foreign investors in strategic sectors within Qatar.

Elon Musk’s virtual interview, conducted by Bloomberg’s Mishal Husain, was described as “combative” in tone. Beyond his OpenAI lawsuit plans, Musk touched on Starlink’s future. He noted that while he envisions the satellite internet service going public eventually, he’s “in no rush” to pursue a listing.

Musk Says He’ll Still Be Tesla CEO Unless He Dies

Musk firmly addressed speculation about his future at Tesla. He confirmed his commitment to remain as the electric vehicle company’s chief executive for years to come. Musk cleared doubts that have surfaced about his continued leadership at Tesla, which has recently become a target for protests and vandalism related to his work cutting the federal workforce with DOGE.

During the interview, Musk shifted focus from his compensation to his control over the company’s direction, particularly as Tesla ventures into robotics. “It’s not a money thing. It’s a reasonable control thing over the future of the company, especially if we’re building millions, potentially billions, of humanoid robots,” Musk explained.

The billionaire expressed confidence that his ongoing legal dispute in Delaware over his substantial pay package would not impact his future compensation. However, he emphasized his concern about maintaining leadership stability at Tesla: “I can’t be sitting there and wondering if I’m going to be tossed out,” he added. Elon Musk has an established presence in the crypto industry. He recently changed his X profile and caused a price pump in the Kekius Maximus (KEKIUS) token.
