"OpenAI Counters Elon Musk's Lawsuit, Alleges His Proposal for Tesla Merger"

OpenAI responds to Elon Musk's lawsuit by revealing communications showing Musk's support for the creation of a for-profit entity and a potential merger with Tesla, contradicting his claims of the company abandoning its nonprofit mission. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, resigned from the board in 2018 and filed a lawsuit alleging breach of the founding agreement. OpenAI's leaders expressed regret over the falling out with Musk and highlighted their recent successes, while Musk has not commented specifically on their description of their interactions.
