Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey Call for Elimination of Intellectual Property Laws

The tech leaders argue that current IP laws stifle creativity and disproportionately benefit gatekeepers, reigniting debates as AI copyright disputes escalate.

Jack Dorsey initiated the discussion with a statement on X, 'delete all IP law,' which was promptly endorsed by Elon Musk.
Dorsey criticized IP laws for limiting creativity and funneling payments unfairly to gatekeepers rather than creators.
Musk’s support aligns with his long-standing skepticism of patents, including his 2014 Tesla patent pledge to not enforce them against 'good faith' users.
The debate unfolds against the backdrop of copyright lawsuits targeting AI companies like OpenAI and Meta over training data usage.
Reactions from the tech community have been mixed, with some supporting the call for reform and others defending IP protections as essential for creators.
