Good thing he doesn’t need any sleep!
Maybe Musk just remembered something Adam Neumann said to him at a party, five or six years ago?
The oh so obvious conclusion:
it’s a stock promotion company that that is increasingly implausibly masquerading as a car company
X on Tuesday filed a federal antitrust lawsuit against an advertising industry coalition and its members—including CVS Health, Mars, Orsted and Unilever**—**alleging the group abused its influence over marketers and ad agencies to discriminate unfairly against X, prompting an ad boycott.
Why it matters: The lawsuit is part of a broader effort by conservative lawmakers and media companies to go after GARM, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media.
Catch up quick: GARM was created by members of the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) in 2019 to set standards around brand safety for digital advertisers. Members include major tech companies, advertisers, agencies, ad tech firms and advertising coalitions.

"The lawsuit, filed in a Northern California federal court, called Musk’s case a “textbook tale of altruism versus greed.”
Altman and Musk should Thunderdome this, right after Musk’s cage match against Zuckerberg.

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI again, claims CEO Sam Altman ‘betrayed’ him

The complaint [PDF], filed today in a California federal court, is largely a redo of his suit from February this year, which was silently dropped in June. In fact, the two complaints share much of the same text, though the new complaint is about twice as long and charges Altman and OpenAI with 15 counts of wrongdoing instead of the initial five. Musk has also seemingly hired a new legal team.
In short, the Tesla tycoon claims he was fraudulently tricked into supporting the launch and growth of the ChatGPT maker, that it turned from an open non-profit into a closed for-profit venture, and as such he wants payback for being allegedly conned plus a cut of the money made from that support.
[…]
Musk was “betrayed by Altman and his accomplices,” the lawsuit claims, adding: “The perfidy and deceit are of Shakespearean proportions.”
[…]
According to the complaint, Musk wants much more than just cash, since the damage OpenAI has allegedly done “cannot be reasonably or adequately measured or compensated in money damages.” The big ticket items are a “constructive trust” of everything OpenAI gained thanks to Musk’s donations, plus the end of the licensing deal that gives Microsoft exclusive access to GPT-4-based models.
Which would suit xAI and Tesla.
