OpenAI has responded to Elon Musk’s lawsuit, highlighting his previous support for the company’s shift to a for-profit structure. Musk, a co-founder, accused the AI company of abandoning its nonprofit roots. OpenAI emphasized Musk’s early involvement in shaping its structure and noted his concerns about operating as a nonprofit before its launch. Musk proposed a transition to a for-profit model in 2017, but tensions arose when he sought control over the entity. OpenAI eventually transitioned to a capped-profit structure in 2019 to secure funding. Musk, who launched xAI as a competitor to OpenAI, has raised billions in funding. The legal battle reflects a struggle over the future of AI development.
