 OpenAI has just responded to Elon's lawsuit. 

They basically called Elon a fraud and showed receipts… Lmfao 😂

They even posted his email, where he wasn't just accepting it to be closed source but also attempting to take it over and merge OpenAI with Tesla. 

Elon is taking non-stop Ls

 Ouch lol 
 Lol 
 lol 
 🍿 
 The non-profit company lol It needs to explain itself.  
 How can we trust these emails are legit? They certainly sound like him, but then again, that’s exactly what an AI chatbot pretending to be Elon would say…. 
 Shut up and read what I've been posting about OpenAI, Microsoft and Bill Gates. 
 I wouldn't be surprised if Altman was making it closed source, and this was Elon giving in and giving up at the end.  
 After reading the emails I take that back.  
 I just want to know what the redacted shit is. 
 This one in particular:

Unfortunately, humanity's future is in the hands of ______.

 
 Yeahhhh 
 If I would take a wild guess I would say it’s Satya. Since they are now close friends with OpenAI, I can see a reason to not include them in these emails.

Not because there is anything bad in there, just to protect the Microsoft stock. 
 Yeah, I genuinely have no idea. I'm not very well educated about who's involved with who when it comes to the OpenAI stuff. 
 I’ve actually, genuinely started to wonder is Elon Musk is a sociopath.
i don’t say that to be mean, or out of pop culture Elon hate. I mean it in the clinical way. It would explain some of his flexible morality and changing stories while seeming so believable. I don’t know. Just wondering if it’s the case. 
 Maybe this is a bad opinion to have, but I've always kind of thought that you can't really make billions without being slightly sociopathic. 
 yeah,  you may be right.
like the level of focus required might require lower levels of empathy. 🤷‍♂️
