U.S. federal judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers earlierRefuseElon Musk at the end of last yearApplication for an injunction, but stated that it would speed up the trial of Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI.
Elon Musk first filed a lawsuit against OpenAI co-founders Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and others in February of this year, and in a 2-page lawsuit, accused OpenAI of violating its original purpose of "benefiting humanity". He believed that OpenAI had accepted a $35 billion investment from Microsoft and held a 130% stake in it, and had become a "subsidiary" that helped Microsoft make profits.
At the end of last year, Elon Musk filed a request for an injunction with the court, requesting that OpenAI's existing investors be restricted from investing in other market competitors. He also applied to restrict OpenAI from obtaining information about competitors through Microsoft's board of directors, and prohibit OpenAI from transforming into a for-profit company. He also hoped to restrict OpenAI from clearing out or transferring the technical intellectual property rights held or controlled by its subsidiaries or affiliates.
Other restrictions include prohibiting OpenAI from engaging in business cooperation with corporate organizations that have significant economic interests in the lawsuit, so as to prevent OpenAI from gaining greater benefits.
However, OpenAI subsequently responded by accusing Elon Musk of repeatedly filing lawsuits and that his allegations were groundless. It further alleged that Elon Musk actually wanted OpenAI to become a profit-oriented company and appoint him as CEO, thereby gaining a favorable situation for him.
The court rejected Elon Musk's application for an injunction, apparently accepting OpenAI's emails and otherevidence, believes that Elon Musk does not expect OpenAI to remain a non-profit company as he stated, but rather prefers to make OpenAI profit-oriented.
