Elon Musk dropped his lawsuit against OpenAI, the AI company he co-founded and now competes against. Musk’s lawyers filed the motion, but no reason was given. Musk originally sued in March, claiming OpenAI prioritized profits over its mission. OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, recently secured a major deal with Apple.

Musk has been critical of OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, for prioritizing business growth over societal benefit. Musk is now focusing on his own AI company, xAI, and recently raised $6 billion for the venture. Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI has been withdrawn, with no reasons provided for the decision. OpenAI, which has received significant investments from major tech companies, continues to expand its presence in the AI industry.
