Elon Musk withdrew the lawsuit he filed against OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and its two co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, for breach of contract, the US network reported this Tuesday. CNBC.
Musk’s decision came 24 hours before a hearing was to be held in a San Francisco court to determine whether the lawsuit was accepted by the court.
Musk filed the lawsuit last February after alleging that OpenAI, Altman and Brockman were in breach of contract, since the company was developing general artificial intelligence (AI) for economic reasons and not “for the benefit of humanity.”
The controversial businessman, who served on OpenAI’s board of directors until 2018, noted in his lawsuit that OpenAI’s main shareholder, Microsoft, had transformed the project.

In an article published in 2023 by SemaforAltman alleged that in early 2018 Musk offered to lead OpenAI because he believed Google was ahead, a proposal that the company’s founders rejected.
After his refusal, Musk left the board of directors, citing a possible conflict of interest.
Last year, Musk created his own firm to develop AI, called xAI, which created the chatbot Grok, integrated into the X social network.
Musk has indicated that in the future Grok will be included in Tesla cars, the company of which he is CEO.
On Monday, Musk criticized Apple for integrating its Siri assistant with ChatGPT and even threatened to ban its devices, such as iPhones and iPads, from his companies, claiming they could be a “security breach.”
