Elon Musk sues OpenAI again, alleging ‘deceit of Shakespearean proportions’
SUMMARY
Elon Musk has reignited his legal battle against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, by filing a new lawsuit in northern California. The suit accuses Altman and other co-founders of manipulating Musk into co-founding the AI company under false pretenses, claiming their actions amounted to "deceit of Shakespearean proportions." Musk's attorney, Marc Toberoff, emphasized that this latest case is much stronger than the one filed earlier this year, aiming to hold the defendants accountable for alleged misrepresentations and financial misconduct. Despite Musk's departure from OpenAI over internal conflicts, the lawsuit reiterates his ongoing grievances over the company’s shift towards a for-profit model and its partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI has dismissed the allegations, maintaining that Musk was always aware of and supported the company's direction .
