Musk Faces Controversy Over Threatening Messages During OpenAI Lawsuit

Court documents have revealed that Elon Musk sent a threatening message to OpenAI's Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, saying they would "become the most hated people in America."

OpenAI claims that Musk did not intend to settle the lawsuit, but instead showed a coercive attitude aimed at attacking a competitor based on personal grudges. In particular, OpenAI emphasized that this message could serve as evidence proving Musk's motive and bias in the lawsuit.

The key issue in this trial is whether "conversations during settlement negotiations," which are typically not admitted as evidence, will be recognized as evidence in this case. OpenAI cites a similar instance in which Musk made comparable threats during his past acquisition of Twitter, arguing that this message, too, was intended for retaliatory purposes rather than genuine intent to settle.
