Elon Musk and Sam Altman cofounded OpenAI, but now they're locked in a legal battle. Here's the history of their working relationship and feud.
- Elon Musk and Sam Altman cofounded OpenAI in 2015, a nonprofit company focused on developing artificial intelligence.After departing from OpenAI, Musk announced his own AI venture, xAI.Musk sued OpenAI and Altman in March 2024, and filed a new one in August of the same year claiming he was 'deceived' into cofounding the company. In November, Musk amended his suit to include Microsoft, who is an investor in OpenAI. He accused the two companies of monopolistic behavior. For their part, OpenAI called the lawsuit 'incoherent' and 'contradictory. However, Musk recently dropped his original lawsuit against OpenAI, Altman, and cofounder Greg Brockman.
- Musk filed a new lawsuit against Altman and Brockman in August, alleging that OpenAI executives played with Musk's concerns about the existential risk of AI, and “assiduously manipulated” him into cofounding the company as a nonprofit. The billionaire called OpenAI’s partnership with Microsoft a “de facto merger” and accused the two of anti-competitive practices.
- Musk's lawyers claimed that OpenAI “has been transformed into a closed-source de facto subsidiary of the largest technology company in the world” and is “refining an AGI to maximize profits for Microsoft, rather than for the benefit of humanity."
- OpenAI responded to the lawsuit by stating that "Elon's prior emails continue to speak for themselves."
- Musk expanded his beef with OpenAI to include Microsoft, accusing the two of constituting a monopoly.
- In November, he amended the lawsuit to include Microsoft as a defendant, calling OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft a "de facto merger" and accusing the two of anti-competitive practices, such as engaging in "lavish compensation."
- Elon Musk sued OpenAI in March but dropped the lawsuit in June.
- Two weeks later, Musk filed a motion asking a judge to prevent OpenAI from dropping its nonprofit status.
- Musk challenged a $500B AI infrastructure project, Stargate, led by OpenAI. Under OpenAI's X post announcing plans to invest half a trillion dollars over the next four years, Musk wrote, "They don't actually have the money."
- Musk first sued Altman and OpenAI in March 2024 accusing them of betraying the firm's founding principles, before dropping the lawsuit. He then filed a new one in August of the same year claiming he was 'deceived' into cofounding the company. In November, he amended it to include Microsoft as a defendant.
- As Musk's influence on US policy grows, his feud with Altman hangs in the balance.

SEC Sues Elon Musk For Failure To Disclose Twitter Stake
- The US SEC has taken legal action against Elon Musk of X (formerly Twitter) for failing to disclose ownership of Twitter stock when buying the social media site.
- Musk first acquired a 5% stake in Twitter in March 2022, later revealing that he had increased his shareholding to 9.2%. In April 2022, Musk announced a takeover offer for Twitter, which led to lawsuits by disgruntled shareholders.
- The SEC began investigating Musk’s disclosure of his stake in Twitter in May 2022, but it wasn’t until September 2024 that the SEC warned it would sanction him. In October that year, Musk declined to attend an interview mandated by the federal court.
- The lawsuit alleges that Musk underpaid for Twitter shares by $150m after failing to disclose his ownership of more than 5% of the shares. Musk’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, claims that Musk has done nothing wrong, calls the lawsuit a “sham” and suggests it is an admission by the SEC that they cannot bring an actual case.
- Musk and the SEC have a troubled past that began when Musk tweeted in August 2018 about his consideration of taking Tesla private.
- Elon Musk has suffered a fresh setback as Reuters reports that Judge Alison Nathan of the US District Court in Manhattan has rejected his request that a shareholder lawsuit against him be dropped.
- The shareholders, who sued Musk over his tweets about Tesla in August 2018, claim that he made false and misleading statements, which inflated Tesla’s share price and hurt investors who bet against the company.
- Musk has publicly expressed his disdain for the SEC and other regulatory agencies in the past, once referring to it in a tweet as the “Shortseller Enrichment Commission” in October 2018.
- The SEC has closed the Big Bang Crypto lawsuit against Ripple. The financial regulator has also agreed that its regulatory oversight extends no further than the sale of XRP in the US.
- It has been announced that Tesla CEO Elon Musk is set to step down from his post as company chairman as part of an SEC settlement over fraud charges.
