I wonder if Elon ever expected to win, or even cared about winning. It's been obvious for a while that OpenAI becoming for-profit historically wasn't really an issue for him, despite what he says in public these days. I imagine that for him the goal was always to damage OpenAI's reputation in order to distract them from progress or raising capital, giving xAI more time to catch up.

I don't think it's a coincidence he didn't bring this suit until after the Altman ouster debacle. Discovery was probably the real objective all along.

I think the same. As much as I like Elon's companies, this case seemed like a strategy, and part envy. He wants to be the first in everything

yeah, he had a secret plan to file his lawsuit late. Real n-dimensional chess here.

I don't say this in a "what a brilliant tactician he is" sense. I think AI in general caught him off guard and he was upset they didn't let him run OpenAI.

I'm sure his lawyers told him he wasn't likely to win, so have to assume embarrassment of OpenAI was the goal.

The amount of cope people have around Elon’s irrational drug addict behavior is insane. Was lying about being good at video games and getting caught also 8D chess too?
