The feud between Musk and Altman has, over time, encompassed a slew of lawsuits, email dumps and social media digs.<\/p>\n

Their rivalry can be traced back a decade, with Musk’s now public belief that OpenAI, under Altman’s leadership, abandoned the principles he and others used to found it in 2015.<\/p>\n

The firm was created with the intention of building artificial general intelligence (AGI) – AI that can perform any task that a human being is capable of – but by making its technology open-source and promising to “benefit humanity”.<\/p>\n

OpenAI was also set up as a not-for-profit company, meaning it would not aim to make money, but in 2019 it established a for-profit arm which Musk felt was antithetical to its original mission.<\/p>\n

Musk argued in his March 2024 lawsuit that the firm had instead been focusing on “maximising profits” for its major investor Microsoft.<\/p>\n

And while he unexpectedly dropped<\/a> his lawsuit last year, OpenAI then filed a counter-suit against him in April.<\/p>\n

It claimed the X owner had engaged “non-stop” in “bad-faith tactics” to try and slow down the company’s AI development<\/a>.<\/p>\n

OpenAI has also claimed Musk is not motivated by preserving the company’s founding mission – but rather by his “own agenda”.<\/p>\n

And the feud has not stopped at just words and legal action. In February, Musk made a shock move to try and buy the company for $100bn (\u00a374bn) – a bid rejected by OpenAI’s board.<\/p>\n
