Sam Altman refutes Musk's allegations of an OpenAI antitrust "conspiracy."

ChainCatcher news, according to Business Insider, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated in court documents that Musk has "no facts" to support his claims that OpenAI is illegally suppressing competition. Altman's lawyers wrote in a lengthy 33-page court document to a federal judge in Oakland, California: "There are no facts supporting the existence of this conspiracy." The lawyers argued that Musk has also failed to prove any harm resulting from the alleged anti-competitive behavior of OpenAI.

Musk's 107-page lawsuit accuses Altman of fraud, self-interest, and "unfair competition." "He claims that without judicial intervention, he will suffer irreparable harm, but has not provided a reasonable explanation of how or why he would suffer harm," Altman's lawyer Jordan Eth wrote in the document on Wednesday.

The document is Altman's response to Musk's request for U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to order an immediate halt to what Musk describes as OpenAI's unfair and illegal restrictions on its competitors.

Musk seeks an immediate injunction from Gonzalez Rogers to stop OpenAI's transition from a nonprofit organization to a for-profit entity, and he also wants the judge to prohibit OpenAI from forcing its investors not to invest in competing tech companies, including the chatbot Grok developed by Musk's own AI company xAI.
