  1. lol, but seriously I want to know what firm is handling this case for Musk.😅 I can sort of see Musk’s point, but I don’t think this case will go anywhere. Nor is he the best messenger.

  2. It depends on who owns the for-profit company. If it’s the non-profit that owns it (or owns a majority stake if the FPC is a joint venture), it might be totally kosher. What about taxes? The FPC venture is subject to taxes on profits before they’re passed through to the NFP. Imagine a museum with a bookshop or gift shop. The museum is a NFP organization, but it operates the gift shop as a for-profit venture. Any profits from the gift shop get funneled to the museum. Obviously there are differences between the hypothetical museum and OpenAI, but it should be the starting point of how we think about this. However, my intuition also tells me that Musk has a point. The problem is that he’s a really bad messenger for this point, with questionable motivation and a high degree of hypocrisy, not to mention that his legal ground is quicksand.

  3. That’s billable hours, too. If a lawyer working for a firm has a 15 minute conversation on the phone with regard to the case, they’ll generally round up to an hour. Some of the hours are real hours, but some will be padded.

  4. We need to do a poll. Should Patrick get head tattoos? Not on his face. That’s gross and LC. But a tasteful tatt of the Ace of Spades behind one of his ears would be pretty bad ass.

  5. I imagine that it was Musk’s lawyers that insisted on “unspecified damages” rather than demanding 420 million dollars.
