Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman.

On Monday, Musk filed the new lawsuit reviving a previous effort against the company he had helped fund. 

In the lawsuit, Alman and his co-founder Greg Brockman are accused of breaching the company’s founding mission, and “assiduously manipulated Musk into co-founding their spurious non-profit venture” by promising it would create safe and transparent AI technology while actually doing the opposite.

Lawyers for Musk have claimed Altman ran a “long con” on the tech billionaire in the suit, describing “perfidy and deceit” of “Shakespearean proportions.”

This new suit echoes Musk’s previous filing against the company in June. 

Marc Toberoff, Musk’s attorney, told The New York Times this second attempt is “a much more forceful lawsuit,” alleging that OpenAI broke federal racketeering laws in an attempt to defraud Musk when he left the company in 2018.

The lawsuit also contests Microsoft’s substantial investment in the company’s for-profit division, arguing that the agreement violates the company’s original intent by prohibiting it from making its technology publicly available.

In the past, OpenAI has dismissed Musk’s claims, citing internal company emails from just before Musk departed in 2018, in which he makes the case that the company ought to merge with Tesla as a commercial subsidiary.

When the first lawsuit was filed, OpenAI executives stated in an internal memo that they believed the claims might have been motivated by jealousy over missing out on the company’s recent success. 

Musk went on to own his own AI company called xAI.
