Elon Musk sent ominous texts to Greg Brockman, Sam Altman after asking for a settlement, OpenAI claims

OpenAI claims Elon Musk sent threatening texts to Greg Brockman and Sam Altman, warning they would become 'the most hated men in America' if they didn't settle his lawsuit against the company. The messages were reportedly sent after Musk requested a settlement in his ongoing legal dispute with OpenAI.

Background

Elon Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left in 2018 and has since been critical of the company's direction and partnership with Microsoft. He filed a lawsuit against OpenAI in early 2024, alleging the company had abandoned its original non-profit mission.
