OpenAI asks California, Delaware to investigate Musk's 'anti-competitive behavior' ahead of April trial
Summary
OpenAI has asked California and Delaware attorneys general to investigate what it calls 'anti-competitive behavior' by Elon Musk, claiming he is working to undermine the company through attacks and coordination with other rivals ahead of an April trial. OpenAI alleges that Musk has conducted opposition research on CEO Sam Altman, spread false allegations, and is using legal efforts to benefit his competing AI company xAI, which faces its own investigations for generating non-consensual explicit deepfake content.
