Summary
Elon Musk has filed a court injunction to block OpenAI’s transition to a fully for-profit business and prevent it from allegedly restricting investors from supporting competitors like his AI startup, xAI.
Musk accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations, claiming they used “group boycotts” to limit funding for rivals while benefitting from shared sensitive information.
OpenAI dismissed the allegations as baseless. The legal battle reflects escalating competition in the booming generative AI industry, valued at $157 billion, with Musk’s xAI emerging as a new challenger.
Oh of course no company can, and especially SpaceX can’t. SpaceX is a lot of fluff, and I’m sure some get great Engineers work there, but if you look at what they have done so far it’s laughably bad. It took well over 3 billion from the US government to put people on Mars and so far it managed to blow up a banana over the Indian ocean… oh, and to needlessly blow up a launch pad.
Doesn’t matter though, Elon Musk who keeps yelling that the government is wasting too much money (but not on his company of course!!) now is in the position to make the US tax payer really bad through the nose and make sure the money lands in his pocket.
He’s still working hard on getting the 56 billion dollar for Tesla because of course… But he can get so much more for his mars scam!
