They emphasize their commitment to developing artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity and refute accusations of prioritizing profits for Microsoft. ## Content OpenAI has issued a detailed response to the lawsuit filed by Elon Musk, shedding light on their relationship and dismissing the allegations made against them. Musk's lawyers claim that OpenAI has deviated from its original nonprofit mission and is now prioritizing profits for Microsoft, its 49% owner. In the response, OpenAI reveals the amount of funding received from Musk and other donors, emphasizing their commitment to their mission of developing artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity. They also share redacted emails that suggest Musk once expressed doubts about the company's ability to raise necessary funds. The response clarifies that OpenAI remains an 'open' organization, countering the accusations of becoming closed source. The lawsuit aims to compel OpenAI to adhere to the original agreement and refocus on their initial goal of providing fair, free, and open AI tools. OpenAI intends to dismiss all of Musk's claims and reaffirm their dedication to advancing AI technology for the greater good. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#ai](https://daily.dev/tags/ai), [#openai](https://daily.dev/tags/openai) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/elon-musk-sues-openai-lawsuit-alleges-breach-of-contract-yrltmothy) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Elon Musk Sues OpenAI: Lawsuit Alleges Breach of Contract","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/elon-musk-sues-openai-lawsuit-alleges-breach-of-contract-yrltmothy","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/elon-musk-sues-openai-lawsuit-alleges-breach-of-contract-yrltmothy"},"datePublished":"2024-03-06T03:00:03.688Z","dateModified":"2024-03-07T23:04:12.953Z","description":"OpenAI responds to Elon Musk's lawsuit, clarifying their mission and dismissing the claims made against them.
