Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, has been making headlines in recent days with his latest attempt to take on OpenAI, the company behind the popular ChatGPT chatbot.
In a federal court on Tuesday, Musk's lawyers faced off against OpenAI in a heated battle over the company's plans to convert itself into a for-profit entity.
According to sources, Musk has been alleging that OpenAI's decision to become a for-profit company would cause harm to his own business interests, and has been seeking a court order to block the move.
However, the federal judge presiding over the case has expressed skepticism over Musk's claims, with some reports suggesting that the judge believes Musk's allegations of harm are a "stretch".
Despite this, the judge has welcomed the possibility of a trial, which could potentially shed more light on the inner workings of OpenAI and Musk's own business dealings.
The case has sparked a lot of interest in the tech community, with many observers seeing it as a clash between two of the most influential figures in the industry.
OpenAI, which was founded in 2015, has been at the forefront of the development of artificial intelligence, and its ChatGPT chatbot has become a household name in recent months.
Musk, on the other hand, has been a long-time proponent of AI, but has also expressed concerns about its potential risks and dangers.
As the case moves forward, it will be interesting to see how the judge ultimately rules, and what the implications will be for both OpenAI and Musk's business empire.
In the meantime, the tech community will be watching with bated breath as two of the most powerful players in the industry duke it out in court.
