Elon Musk’s legal case against OpenAI is hilariously bad

Yes, I know it's a Verge link, but I found the explanation of the legal failings quite funny, and I think it's "important" we keep track of which obscenely rich people are mad at each other so we can choose which of their kingdoms to be serfs in.

Something that Musk commissioned is badly constructed? That’s a first.

insert that clip from the IT crowd but instead of “made in britain” it’s “made by musk”

Uhhh. I mean sure he’s not going to get anywhere with this lawsuit, but contracts don’t have to even be written down to be valid legal things. The whole verge article is a mess honestly… https://www.lawdepot.com/resources/business-articles/are-verbal-contracts-legally-binding/
