Elon Musk drops lawsuit against ChatGPT-maker OpenAI without explanation

Published June 12, 2024 9:22 AM

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Elon Musk has dropped his lawsuit against OpenAI just ahead of a scheduled Wednesday hearing on the case. Musk in February sued the San Francisco artificial intelligence company and its CEO Sam Altman over what he said was a betrayal of the ChatGPT maker’s founding aims of benefiting humanity rather than pursuing profits. Musk’s lawyer filed a notice Tuesday seeking to dismiss the entire case. No explanation was given for why it was being dropped. And neither Musk nor anyone representing him in the case bothered to show up at a status hearing Wednesday.
