Recently, Tesla CEO Elon Musk's legal team submitted a request to the court for a temporary injunction against OpenAI's transformation into a profit-making company.
According to reports, this request is part of Musk's ongoing litigation against the artificial intelligence company. Musk's legal team argues that if he wins in court, OpenAI may lack sufficient funds to cover potential damages, thus necessitating legal action.

In the legal documents, Musk's team also accused OpenAI and its investor Microsoft of violating U.S. antitrust laws, claiming that the two companies had advised investors not to fund their competitors. This assertion has also been supported by Reuters, reflecting Musk's team's strong dissatisfaction with OpenAI and its business practices.
It is noteworthy that OpenAI's recent round of funding is closely related to its transformation into a profit-making company. In the early communications during OpenAI's founding, Musk himself supported the profit model, arguing that there was a risk of falling behind competitors in the development of advanced artificial intelligence systems. This shift has sparked widespread concern about OpenAI's future direction.
As competition in the artificial intelligence industry intensifies, Musk's actions are not just for his own benefit, but also a reflection and warning regarding the overall industry landscape. His legal actions could have far-reaching implications for the future development of OpenAI and its investors.
