「マスク対アルトマン」裁判で提示された新たな文書により、イーロン・マスク氏が2018年にサム・アルトマン氏らOpenAIのリーダーたちをTeslaへ迎え入れようと提案していたことが判明した。この証拠は、当時マスク氏がAI研究所の方向性を自らの支配下に置こうとしていたことを示している。
オークランドで進行中の裁判で明らかになったメールや証言によれば、マスク氏はOpenAIをTeslaに統合するか、アルトマン氏をTeslaの取締役に任命する計画を立てていた。水曜日に法廷で共有されたメッセージによると、マスク氏は自身の関与なしには同非営利団体が汎用人工知能（AGI）を実現することは難しいとの考えを示していた。
X（旧Twitter）では、マスク氏が2018年にアルトマン氏やカーパシー氏らOpenAIの創業者をTeslaのAIラボに引き抜こうとしていたという裁判の最新情報が話題となっており、ユーザーは裁判資料やジリス氏の証言を共有している。反応は、ジャーナリストによる中立的な事実共有から、マスク氏の支配欲に対する懐疑的な意見まで多岐にわたる。
