The filing is part of an ongoing case by Musk against Sam Altman and OpenAI.

Overview

  • Musk’s legal team filed on June 22 that they conducted searches of his mobile phone and emails and asserted he does not use a computer.
  • OpenAI lawyers contend that Musk and his AI startup xAI have produced no computer-based documents and accused him of flouting discovery obligations.
  • In December 2024, Musk posted a photo on X of a PC laptop used for gaming and testing Starlink’s in-flight streaming.
  • In May 2025, he wrote that he was still using his “ancient PC laptop” with a Dogecoin sticker, deepening the contradiction with his lawyers’ claim.
  • The computer usage dispute comes as part of Musk’s February 2024 lawsuit accusing OpenAI and Sam Altman of abandoning the nonprofit mission to maximize Microsoft’s profits.
