to withdraw a legal case against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman, which accused them of abandoning the firm&#8217;s founding mission of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for humanity&#8217;s benefit.<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The filing submitted by the multi-billionaire&#8217;s lawyers asked for the months-old case to be dropped without offering any reason for the move.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">It came just a day before the court was expected to hear the ChatGPT-developer&#8217;s bid to have the case dismissed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">BBC News has contacted Mr Musk&#8217;s lawyer and OpenAI for comment.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The latest filing asked for the case&#8217;s dismissal &#8220;without prejudice&#8221;, meaning Mr Musk could still reactivate it at a later stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The Tesla boss filed the lawsuit against OpenAI at the end of February this year, arguing the company he had helped found in 2015 had deviated from its altruistic goals to focus on making money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"links-block\" class=\"ssrcss-12l5xzx-LinksComponentWrapper e3eyuya0\">\n<section class=\"ssrcss-msolhr-LinksWrapper e3eyuya5\">\n<ul role=\"list\"

previously backed the idea of a for-profit structure and even suggested a merger with his electric car firm Tesla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The feud intensified earlier this week after Apple unveiled a partnership with OpenAI to boost its Siri voice assistant and operating systems with OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT chatbot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">After the announcement, Mr Musk posted several messages on his social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, criticising the tie-up.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">One of the posts ended with the words: &#8220;Apple has no clue what\u2019s actually going on once they hand your data over to OpenAI. They\u2019re selling you down the river.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">However, investors seemed to welcome the news, as Apple&#8217;s stock market value rose to a record high above $3tn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Mr Musk started his own AI company, called xAI, in July 2023, which he said would aim to &#8220;understand reality&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">In November that year, xAI launched Grok, a chatbot with &#8220;a little humour&#8221;, in a bid to rival the likes of ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div data-component=\"topic-list\" class=\"ssrcss-1qmkvfu-TopicListWrapper etw6iwl1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-smoc0a-StyledTagContainer ed0g1kj1\">\n<div class=\"ssrcss-50vlbt-TopicListHeaderWrapper etw6iwl0\">\n<h2 type=\"normal\" class=\"ssrcss-1hh51ad-Heading e10rt3ze0\">Related Topics<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ssrcss-17ehax8-Cluster e1ihwmse1\">\n<ul role=\"list\" spacing=\"2\" class=\"ssrcss-1ujonwb-ClusterItems e1ihwmse0\">\n<li>Elon Musk<\/li>\n<li>International Business<\/li>\n<li>Tesla<\/li>\n<li>Artificial intelligence<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Published at Wed, 12 Jun 2024 04:05:56 +0000<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elon Musk unexpectedly drops case against OpenAI Getty Images Jo\u00e3o da Silva Business reporter 27 minutes ago Elon Musk has unexpectedly asked a California court to withdraw a legal case against OpenAI and its boss Sam Altman, which accused them of abandoning the firm&#8217;s founding mission of developing artificial intelligence (AI) for humanity&#8217;s benefit.
