Musk Moves to Block OpenAI From Obtaining Meta Documents in $97.4 Billion Bid Dispute

The discovery fight will determine access to Meta communications central to OpenAI's “sham bid” claims.

Overview

  • Musk's lawyers told the court late Tuesday that OpenAI already has bid materials from Musk and xAI and called Meta-related discovery improper for this phase.
  • OpenAI previously asked Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers to order Meta to produce any documents or communications about the alleged $97.4 billion offer.
  • Meta urged the judge to deny the request, asserting OpenAI should seek any relevant records directly from Musk and his startup.
  • OpenAI said its document requests are narrowly targeted and argued depositions may be necessary if the communications were primarily oral.
  • The dispute follows the judge's earlier decision to let OpenAI's claims over a purported bid proceed, with a jury trial scheduled for spring 2026.
