OpenAI sues Elon Musk for unfair competition , escalating legal feud

OpenAI is suing Elon Musk for unfair competition and interfering with its business relationships with investors and customers, escalating a legal battle between the ChatGPT maker and the billionaire who helped bankroll the artificial intelligence startup a decade ago.

The allegations against Musk were filed Wednesday in a federal court in California as a counterclaim to Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, which is heading to a jury trial next year.
