CNBC reported on the same day that the San Francisco County Superior Court in California plans to hold a hearing on June 12, when Musk will formally withdraw his lawsuit. The purpose of the hearing is to consider the request to dismiss the lawsuit filed by OpenAI and other related defendants. This case shows that although Musk has chosen to withdraw the lawsuit for the time being, the case is not completely over and he may still restart the lawsuit in the future.
Litigation History
On February 29, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, its co-founder and CEO Sam Altman, and several other company members. Musk's allegations include breach of contract and unfair competition.
He noted that OpenAI had strayed from its original mission of developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity in favor of profit and moved to a closed-source model, effectively becoming a subsidiary of its funding source and partner Microsoft.
In March, OpenAI issued a public statement saying Musk, who served on OpenAI’s board until 2018, understood the need for a profit model and planned to ask the court to dismiss the lawsuit.
In addition, Musk's current artificial intelligence company xAI claims that its goal is to benefit mankind. The company received $6 billion in financing in May, with a valuation of $24 billion.
Although Musk filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, he eventually dropped it according to court documents on June 11. At the same time, the court dismissed the case without prejudice and allowed Musk to re-file the lawsuit in the future.

Conclusion:
The legal dispute between Elon Musk and OpenAI has come to a temporary end. Although Musk has dropped the current lawsuit, the court's dismissal without prejudice leaves room for both parties to revisit and resolve their differences.
The June 12 hearing marks Musk's formal withdrawal of the lawsuit, while the dismissal requests of OpenAI and other defendants will also be considered. This process not only demonstrates the rigor of the legal process, but also reflects the complex balance between the pursuit of innovation and commercial interests in the technology industry.
Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI and the goal statement of xAI, the company he leads, highlight the deep consideration of ethical responsibility and long-term vision in the field of artificial intelligence. As technology continues to advance, how to ensure that the development of artificial intelligence can both promote social progress and meet ethical standards will be a challenge that the entire industry needs to continue to face.
Musk's actions, whatever their outcome, add a new dimension to the discussion and prompt us to think about the future direction of artificial intelligence.
