Elon Musk lost an offer in court and asked a judge to temporarily block Chatgpt Creator OpenAi and his Backer Microsoft (MSFT) to implement plans to make the charity for artificial intelligence in a company with a profit -making.
But the billionaire scored a big win at the same time.
In an order that refuses the immediate request of Musk, California Federal District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers offered to hear Musk’s core Claim against OpenAI On an accelerated schedule that the test for this fall would take.
“Given the public interest at the game and the potential for damage … the court is willing to speed up the process until the autumn of 2025,” she wrote in a command issued on Tuesday.
Musk has asked for an order to stop OpenAi, his co-founder Sam Altman, and his biggest investor, Microsoft, of completing plans for OpenAI to convert from a non-profit to a for-profit company to transfer and transfer to material assets owned by OpenAI or his subsidiaries.
Musk and Altman originally co-founder of OpenAi as a non-profit in 2015, but Musk separated from the AI company due to disagreements with regard to how to continue with the company and eventually started a competitive AI company called Xai.
The lawsuit of Musk who wants to prevent the conversion from OpenAI to a profit-making company around Musk’s first donation of $ 45 million to finance the startup, which he claimed was dependent on OpenAI who remained a non-profit organization.
Altman claims that Musk OpenAi wanted to merge into his for-profit electric vehicle company, Tesla (TSLA), so that Tesla could provide extra financing.
Altman and Microsoft have called the allegations of Musk ‘false’ and claimed that he has no legal basis for blocking the conversion of OpenAi with profit.
The lawyer of Musk, Marc Toberoff, said during a hearing of February that allowing OpenAi to continue with the pursuit of the status of profit motive would cause “irreparable damage” to Musk, Xai, investors and the public.
“I don’t think you gave me a record for the exemption you request,” said Gonzalez Rogers during that hearing in February and noticed that the requested order that Musk was rarely granted.
But she agreed that Musk’s complaint raised disputable questions about the conditions of his relationship with OpenAI. His lawyers claimed that his donations were conditioned on Altman’s obligations to operate as a non -profit.
“I don’t know what happened, but I certainly don’t throw something out on a motion to fire when it’s plausible that what Mr. Musk says is true,” said Gonzalez Rogers. “We will discover it. He will be in the stands. He will present it to a jury. A jury will decide who is right. “
