NEW DELHI, Aug 22: OpenAI has requested a US court to force Meta to share evidence of any coordinated plans with Elon Musk and xAI regarding the acquisition or investment in the ChatGPT-maker.
A brief filed in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI revealed that OpenAI’s lawyers subpoenaed Meta in June for documents concerning its possible role in Musk’s $97 billion bid to acquire the startup in February 2025.
OpenAI had rejected Musk’s bid then. OpenAI’s lawyers claim that Musk communicated with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg regarding xAI’s bid to acquire OpenAI, including discussions on potential financing arrangements or investments. Meta opposed OpenAI’s initial subpoena in July and is now seeking a court order to acquire the evidence.
OpenAI plans to open its first India office in New Delhi later this year, highlighting the rapid adoption of its tools in the country. (IANS)
