Elon Musk asked Mark Zuckerberg to help buy OpenAI

When Elon Musk, the CEO of a combined social media and AI company (xAI), unsuccessfully tried to buy OpenAI earlier this year, he turned to Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of a combined social media and AI company (Meta) for help, new court filings show.

Musk, who is also the CEO of Tesla and a cofounder of OpenAI, is taking OpenAI to court next March for changing its corporate structure. OpenAI has counterclaimed that Musk engaged in a “years-long harassment campaign” against the startup.

For what it’s worth, Musk and Zuckerberg also have a long-running beef. Neither Meta nor Zuckerberg signed Musk’s letter of intent “about potential financing arrangements or investments,” so it’s still unclear if they’ve buried the hatchet.
