Musk had accused the start-up of “burning down” the founding agreement to develop AI for the good of humanity.
Elon Musk dropped his lawsuit accusing OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of failing to live up to the startup's commitment to develop artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
Lawyers in the United States representing Musk asked a California judge on Tuesday to dismiss the lawsuit, court documents showed.
No reason was provided for the motion to dismiss the lawsuit.
In February, Musk filed a lawsuit alleging that ChatGPT had “turned on” its founding agreement to put the good of humanity before the pursuit of profit when it signed an investment agreement with Microsoft.
“To this day, OpenAI Inc's website continues to profess that its charter is to ensure that AGI 'benefits all of humanity,'” Musk claimed in the lawsuit.
“In reality, however, OpenAI Inc has been transformed into a de facto closed-source subsidiary of the world's largest technology company: Microsoft.”
OpenAI described Musk's complaint as “artificial,” arguing that the company had no founding agreement or contract of any kind with Musk.
The California-based startup also accused Musk of trying to capitalize on its success after seeing the “remarkable technological advances” it had made.
Musk helped co-found OpenAI in 2015, before leaving the company three years later.
Last year, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX launched his own artificial intelligence startup, xAI.
Last month, OpenAI's rival announced it had raised $6 billion from backers including venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz and Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal.
