OpenAI urges California, Delaware to investigate Musk’s ‘anti-competitive behaviour’

OpenAI urged the California and Delaware attorneys general to consider investigating Elon Musk and his associates’ “improper and anti-competitive behavior”, ahead of a trial between the two sides set to begin this month.

Musk sued OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman and others in 2024, ‌accusing them ⁠of violating ⁠OpenAI’s founding mission as it restructures to a for-profit entity. Musk was a cofounder of OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018 and launched rival xAI with its competitor chatbot Grok.
