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

Overview

  • Musk’s lawyers informed the court that he relies solely on mobile devices and “does not use a computer” when addressing OpenAI’s discovery demands.
  • OpenAI has accused Musk and xAI of failing to produce documents from a computer, noting their legal filings did not include any computer searches.
  • Public evidence includes Musk’s social media posts about testing Starlink streaming on a laptop and referencing an “ancient PC laptop” with a Dogecoin sticker.
  • The computer-use claim is woven into Musk’s February 2024 lawsuit alleging OpenAI breached its nonprofit founding mission to prioritize Microsoft profits.
  • Both sides are escalating their dispute over document production as they press for discovery compliance ahead of a potential trial next year.
