Elon Musk has been involved in several high-profile disputes with companies he co-founded. Initially, Musk was a key figure in OpenAI, an artificial intelligence project he helped establish and significantly funded. However, tensions arose in 2018 when Musk parted ways with his co-founders and later sued to prevent OpenAI’s restructuring, accusing the company of shifting from its nonprofit mission. Musk now runs a competing AI venture, xAI. OpenAI has retaliated by suing Musk for harassment and spreading misinformation. The feud escalated personally between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, involving public jabs and financial offers. Additionally, Musk’s tenure at Tesla and PayPal also saw leadership conflicts and legal disputes. Despite these clashes, Musk remains a dominant figure in the tech world. — new from The Washington Post
