Them having to sell out to microsoft is directly Elon's fault though! Like, you can't just directly cause the bad thing to happen with your actions, and then cry about it when someone goes to a different group for funding. If Elon didn't want the microsoft deal to happen then he shouldn't have reneged on his funding promise just because they refused to give up complete control to him.

Elon offered funding. OpenAI declined the offer then signed a deal with Microsoft. Elon did not force them to choose Microsoft. It was simply a disagreement. After they signed up with Microsoft, Elon tried to get some of his money back. Didn't work. Too bad. Now he can move on with his life.

  Well - except Elon offered the funding without the contingency of being CEO. It was when he demanded it that they went their separate ways. > Elon did not force them to choose Microsoft. By rescinding his offer, he did force them to make drastic changes in order to get new funding. > Now he can move on with his life. Are you familiar with Elon?

  > It was simply a disagreement. Ok great. Then that means that any complaints from Elon about selling out are completely invalid, and it makes no sense for him to be mad about such a simple disagreement. > Now he can move on with his life. That would be wonderful. Unfortunately you were the person arguing that it was somehow deserved for him to sue. It is not deserved because he was the one who cause them to sell out to Microsoft. That is the point. The point is that you can't directly cause the supposedly bad action to happen, and then claim that you have been morally wronged when someone gets funding elsewhere. If you think that it was merely a disagreement, then fine. Your previous arguments are invalid where you try to claim that this is some huge sellout situation, when it is directly Elons fault.
