AI Weekly: OpenAI vs Elon Musk
OpenAI enters social media race, battles Musk in court
OpenAI appears to be branching out from chatbots into social networking, according to a recent report from The Verge. The AI powerhouse is reportedly in the early stages of developing a social platform that would compete with Elon Musk’s X (formerly Twitter).
Sam Altman, OpenAI’s CEO, has allegedly been seeking outside feedback on the concept, though it remains unclear whether this would be a standalone product or something built into the ChatGPT experience. Either way, it marks an interesting expansion beyond pure AI tools into social territory.
Legal battles heat up with former backer
In what’s becoming quite the tech industry drama, OpenAI is now counter-suing Elon Musk, who previously took the company to court over its transition to a for-profit model. OpenAI claims Musk has engaged in harassment through “press attacks, malicious campaigns on X, and a sham bid for its assets.”
This bitter dispute between the ChatGPT maker and one of its original founders is headed for a jury trial next spring. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly relationships can sour in the fast-moving AI space.
Nvidia feels the China pinch

The company is taking a substantial $5.5 billion charge related to new export controls on its H20 chips – previously the most advanced model they could still sell to the Chinese market following earlier restrictions.
This highlights the growing economic impact of technology trade tensions between the US and China, particularly in the strategically important AI sector.
AI takes on environmental monitoring
On a more positive note, Norwegian marine data firm Muros Group is putting AI to work detecting oil spills at sea. The system analyzes data from standard ship radars to identify potential contamination around offshore installations.
