Elon Musk, in a broadening quest to control the tech world, is feuding with a growing list of Silicon Valley rivals:
He’s now suing OpenAI — which he co-founded — and CEO Sam Altman, accusing them of prioritizing profit over “the benefit of humanity.”
Why it matters: Troves of information about both Musk and OpenAI could come to light if the case proceeds to discovery, potentially damaging reputations and throwing AI companies into chaos.
The big picture: Musk — a headstrong billionaire prone to petty feuds — and his fellow tech titans will have an outsized impact on the fate of a technology that could pose existential risks to the human race.
