According to an internal memo OpenAI sent to employees, the company “categorically disagrees” with Musk’s lawsuit against the company, Bloomberg reported .

OpenAI chief strategy officer Jason Kwon refuted Musk’s statement that OpenAI is a ‘de facto subsidiary’ of Microsoft, saying that Musk’s view ” may stem from his regret that he is not involved in the company today .”
