Elon Musk has dropped his lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman

In his lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, Elon Musk accused the company of abandoning its original mission of developing artificial intelligence technology for the benefit of the public and keeping its code open-source24. He claimed that OpenAI had become focused on pursuing profits and prioritizing the interests of major investor Microsoft. Musk alleged that the company was refining artificial general intelligence to maximize profits for Microsoft rather than for the benefit of humanity4. He also accused OpenAI of breaching its fiduciary duty and its founding mission.

Elon Musk requested the dismissal of his lawsuit against OpenAI without prejudice, which means he can re-file the lawsuit in the future if he chooses to do so. While Musk did not provide a specific reason for dropping the lawsuit, the decision came just ahead of when the Superior Court judge was set to hear OpenAI's bid for dismissal. It is also worth noting that Musk has been involved in an ongoing feud with OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, over the company abandoning its non-profit mission and allegedly programming its ChatGPT with a "woke" political bias. Additionally, Musk's own AI company, xAI, has been growing and raising funds, which could be influencing his decision to dismiss the lawsuit.
