OpenAI Counter-Sues Elon Musk, Settling Stage for Legal Battle

OpenAI, a pioneering artificial intelligence company, has countersued Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, following a series of legal actions taken by Musk. The legal clash indicates a power struggle that goes beyond a failed business relationship.

According to OpenAI's filing, Musk attempted to prevent the company from becoming a public benefit corporation under its existing for-profit entity. The lawsuit alleges that Musk backed out of OpenAI when the venture refused to merge with his company, Tesla, and failed to fulfill his $1 billion commitment to the startup.

OpenAI claims that Musk went on to launch his own AI firm, xAI, just one year after OpenAI launched ChatGPT. The company filed the lawsuit in the Northern District of California on April 9, alleging that Musk's actions constituted a multi-front attack to derail OpenAI's progress.

Musk had initially sued OpenAI last year, citing concerns over the company's humanitarian mission to promote AI research and development. A federal judge had decided that Musk's concerns would be heard at a jury trial in the spring of 2026.

The legal battle is unfolding against the backdrop of Musk's growing political entanglements with the Trump administration. Trump has faced increased scrutiny in recent weeks over his handling of the federal workforce and its mass layoffs.

OpenAI's countersuit aims to stop Musk's efforts and protect its interest in AI innovations. In a statement, OpenAI said, "Elon's nonstop actions against us are just bad-faith tactics to slow down OpenAI and seize control of the leading AI innovations for his personal benefit. Today, we counter-sued to stop him."

Musk responded to the filing with a tweet, saying, "Scam Altman is at it again." Musk has been involved in public controversy due to his role in the Trump administration and his company's push for deregulation and Trump's polarizing tariff policies.

The legal battle between OpenAI and Musk is likely to continue, with both parties seeking to protect their interests in the AI innovation space.
