Elon Musk previously left OpenAI and declared "not focusing on safety, instead pursuing DeepMind," and now he is suing citing safety concerns.

According to Beating Monitoring, in the second week of Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, Brockman disclosed on May 5th during his court appearance that when Musk left the OpenAI board in 2018, he stated in a company-wide speech: He would promote AI at Tesla, “not spend time on safety,” with the primary goal of catching up to Google DeepMind. He also said: “If the herd sets safety rules and the wolves are unrestrained, then nothing makes sense.” However, in this case, the core reason Musk sued OpenAI is precisely because the company betrayed its safety mission.

Brockman also revealed that Musk had asked several OpenAI employees to work unpaid for months on Tesla’s Autopilot team, helping to overhaul its technical solutions. During his first court appearance, Musk repeatedly emphasized that he had invested a lot of time and resources into OpenAI, but he did not mention this period of reverse conscription at all.
