The controversial businessman, who served on OpenAI’s board of directors until 2018, noted in its lawsuit that OpenAI’s largest shareholder, Microsoft, had transformed the project.
In an article published in 2023 by Semafor, Altman alleged that in early 2018 Musk offered to lead OpenAI because he believed Google was ahead, a proposal that the company’s founders rejected.
