"OpenAI's Legal Battle with Elon Musk: A Closer Look"

OpenAI responds to Elon Musk's lawsuit by claiming that he wanted "absolute control" of the company, including merging it with Tesla or having full control as CEO, which they rejected as against their mission. They deny abandoning their nonprofit mission and defend their decision not to open-source their work, citing email conversations with Musk. Musk alleges that OpenAI has become a "closed-source de facto subsidiary" of Microsoft, focusing on profit instead of benefiting humanity, but OpenAI has not directly addressed the existence of a formal agreement or Musk's claims about GPT-4.
