Musk Against Humanity? Cards Against Humanity Sues Elon Musk's SpaceX for Trespassing- Grapevine

- Elon Musk has filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, claiming the AI start-up deviated from its mission to benefit humanity by partnering with Microsoft.
- The lawsuit, filed in a California federal court, includes allegations that Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman broke federal civil racketeering laws and misled investors about OpenAI's mission.
- Musk's lawsuit accuses Altman and Brockman of manipulating him into co-founding OpenAI under false pretenses and then shifting the company's focus to profit-driven goals.
- The legal battle centers on whether OpenAI's latest models have achieved artificial general intelligence (AGI), which could nullify its licensing agreement with Microsoft.
- This renewed lawsuit is part of an ongoing conflict between Musk and Altman, with Musk also seeking damages for the profits OpenAI earned from his contributions.

Things are looking bad at OpenAI

- A federal judge has mandated Elon Musk’s X to disclose its list of shareholders, revealing key investors in the $44 billion acquisition of the platform formerly known as Twitter.
- The unsealed document lists nearly 100 entities, including prominent venture capitalists, entrepreneurs, and a fund linked to Sean 'Diddy' Combs.
- Notable investors include Andreessen Horowitz, Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal al Saud, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey, and 8VC co-founder Joe Lonsdale.
- The court’s decision follows a motion by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, emphasizing public interest in knowing the stakeholders of such an influential platform.
- Despite Musk’s efforts to revitalize X with new features and subscription options, the platform faces financial challenges, with some investors’ stakes significantly devalued.

Elon Musk’s X Ordered to Reveal Investors in Court Filing

- Elon Musk and Donald Trump’s joint X Spaces event crashed Monday afternoon, scheduled for 5 pm PT but users received an error message.
- The message “This Space is not available” appeared on X when trying to join the highly anticipated conversation.
- The event, promoted by Trump and Musk, was supposed to mark Trump’s return to X and started at 5:42 pm PT instead of the scheduled 5 pm PT.
- Musk claimed a massive DDOS attack on X caused the crash, linking it to opposition against hearing Trump.
- This is not the first time an X Space has crashed during a political campaign; similar issues occurred during Ron DeSantis’s 2024 campaign announcement in May 2023.

- A record number of advertisers plan to cut spending on X next year due to concerns over extreme content.
- Kantar's survey shows a net 26% of marketers will reduce ad spending on X in 2025, the largest pullback from any major platform.
- Big brands have been leaving X since Musk's $44bn takeover in 2022, citing his free speech ethos and loosened content moderation.
- Only 4% of marketers believe ads on X are brand safe, compared to 39% for Google.
- Musk's adversarial relationship with advertisers continues, with legal threats against boycotting brands like Unilever and Mars.

Marketers Flee Elon Musk's X Over Extreme Content Concerns

- Nearly two years after Elon Musk's acquisition, X's business is still struggling to recover from the financial strain it fell into under his ownership.
- The $13 billion loan Musk used to buy Twitter has become the worst merger-finance deal for banks since the 2008-09 financial crisis, with banks unable to offload the debt without major losses.
- The loans have remained 'hung' on banks' balance sheets, leading to significant write-downs and impacting bank profits and compensation for merger departments.
- Despite hefty interest payments from the X loans, the banks face regulatory scrutiny and have scaled back on providing capital for other merger-finance deals.
- The banks are caught in a dilemma: they want to maintain good relations with Musk for future business opportunities but are struggling with the financial fallout from the Twitter deal.

Product Manager

Recently saw a post where a girl who’s started working got fired from her job due to some drama between her and the a RW mob on X and they kept tagging the company and forced her to be terminated. Haven’t really dived deep to check what the actual matter is but my point here is that should companies take action against employees for what they do on social media which doesn’t really involve the company.

Are there laws regarding this or anything mentioned when we join a company and does this set a bad precedent which jeopardises free speech ?

Should Employees be punished for what they post on social media ?

Assistant Manager

Can anyone explain what is happening and why it is such a big deal?

- Just two of OpenAI’s 11 founding team members remain active, following a series of departures after a boardroom coup against CEO Sam Altman in November.
- Three co-founders have left this year, including John Schulman, who joined rival Anthropic, and Greg Brockman, who announced an extended leave.
- The high turnover rate, especially among senior figures, has raised questions about the $86bn company's direction amid fierce competition from Google and Anthropic.
- Some founders have joined rivals or started their own AI companies, while Elon Musk, a former member, has become a vocal critic.
- OpenAI had an unusually large founding team to build an AI supergroup, but recent events have significantly thinned their ranks.
