OpenAI has publicly responded to a lawsuit filed by Elon Musk, who accused the company of deviating from its original nonprofit mission. In a blog post, the OpenAI co-founders stated that Musk had previously sought to merge OpenAI with Tesla or gain full control over the company. They claimed that Musk demanded majority equity, board control, and the position of CEO, which they believed contradicted the mission of preventing any single individual from having complete control over OpenAI.
