I think he feels bad for leaving OpenAI and is now jealous of what they accomplished. He probably just wanted to cast legal doubt over OpenAI's ability to profit from closed-source models. Which he managed to accomplish. If this hurts OpenAI's prospects to raise money is yet to be seen. I hope not...
- belter 2y agoOr maybe his lawyers explained to him the meaning of legal discovery...
- AstroJetson 2y agoYea, they published some of Elon's emails around this. It wasn't a good look and I think they said "By the way, we will see you at a deposition" and it was over.
- threeseed 2y ago> Which he managed to accomplish He accomplished absolutely nothing. OpenAI has established lucrative partnerships with Apple and Microsoft and are the primary platform developers are building their applications on. They will have no problem profiting and raising money.
- truncate 2y agoThe way things are going, OpenAI can experiment on puppies and that'll still not affect their ability to raise money. They are clearly leading the space right now and making lucrative deals with most valuable companies out there.
- p1esk 2y agoThey might not need to raise any more money. If they manage to release a significantly smarter model (gpt-5), I, and millions of others, will gladly pay hundreds of dollars per month to use it.

- beambot 2y agoI'd be pretty peeved if I backed a non-profit through its most-risky early days only for them to turn around and shun the original philanthropic mission in the spirit of profit maximization...

- tw04 2y agoNot quite how that played out. He wanted complete control, they told him no, he pulled his money in the hopes of bankrupting them. When he reneged on the $1 billion he pledged in funding they were forced to seek funding elsewhere (Microsoft). https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654701/openai-elon-musk-failed-takeover-report-closed-open-source https://www.theverge.com/2023/3/24/23654701/openai-elon-musk...
- xcv123 2y ago"in the hopes of bankrupting them" Where do you get that idea? How exactly were they entitled to his $1B donation?
- stale2002 2y ago> How exactly were they entitled to his $1B donation? They weren't. But neither is Musk entitled to anything from OpenAI and the lawsuit was BS. He pulled his donation because he wasn't given total control, and now he is being a sore loser about it with a failed lawsuit.
- xcv123 2y agoFair enough. But I would do the same if I were in his shoes just out of spite for selling out to Microsoft. Sue them for everything they are worth.

- lossolo 2y ago> is now jealous Reading his (already deleted) tweets from yesterday about the Apple and OpenAI announcement, I think you could be right.
- mlindner 2y agoWhy do people always assume anything he says isn't why he does what he does? He's repeatedly stated why he cares. It's rather frustrating. Like assume good faith please.
- FireBeyond 2y ago> Like assume good faith please. Which year of promising "FSD later this year/end of year" do we stop assuming good faith and recognize that maybe Musk has dug himself into his own hole when it comes to assuming good faith about his statements? Kinda like "I have evidence that Vern Unsworth is a pedophile"? Should we have assumed good faith there, too?
- mlindner 2y ago> Which year of promising "FSD later this year/end of year" do we stop assuming good faith and recognize that maybe Musk has dug himself into his own hole when it comes to assuming good faith about his statements? I take it as that is what he actually thinks. He is perpetually bad, exceptionally so, at judging the time things will take to complete. He's not actively lying. He actually thinks that. Once you assume that, you start to get a better understanding of why he operates the way he does. He's naive to a fault. > Kinda like "I have evidence that Vern Unsworth is a pedophile"? Should we have assumed good faith there, too? (First off, that's not a direct quote, he never said that.) That's not an engineering topic so I'm not going to stake my reputation on it, but my default assumption would be the same, he actually thought that, as silly as it seems. He had a preconceived notion, unfounded or not, that any old white man who retired to that area of the world was more than likely to be that type of person. Of course the origin of that dirt seeking effort was that he was upset with the guy for doing personal attacks on him personally and also on the efforts of the SpaceX employees which he almost considers as extensions of himself. So he considered that he must be a bad person (as only a bad person would have attacked what he was trying to do), in multiple ways, so he went trying to find what other ways he was a bad person.

- rand1239 2y agoNice. Do you actually realise these are just your beliefs and how you view the world? A good way to test this would be to check the number of zeroes in your bank account and Musk's net worth. Are they really close? No? Probably he has a different belief system then.
- 7e 2y agoHe didn’t leave OpenAI. He tried to steal employees and was asked to leave.
