OpenAI Countersues Musk for Unfair Competition | JQJO

OpenAI is countersuing Elon Musk for unfair competition and business interference, escalating their legal battle. Musk, an early OpenAI investor, is accused of making a sham $97.4 billion bid to acquire OpenAI, a figure OpenAI claims was arbitrarily chosen. OpenAI alleges Musk's actions caused them harm through harassment and misinformation. Musk's attorney denies this, arguing OpenAI should have seriously considered the bid. This countersuit follows Musk's lawsuit alleging OpenAI breached its founding nonprofit aims, a trial now set for March 2026.
