Musk Attacks OpenAI Safety Record in Deposition, Invokes Grok

Elon Musk went on the offensive against OpenAI in a newly released deposition from his ongoing legal battle with the company.

The core of his attack? Safety. Musk targeted OpenAI's track record on AI safety, drawing a pointed comparison to his own chatbot. His blunt claim: nobody has "committed suicide because of Grok."

The remark is a sharp jab at OpenAI amid growing scrutiny over how AI companies handle the psychological risks their products may pose to users. Musk has been locked in a prolonged legal fight with OpenAI, the company he co-founded before departing and later launching rival xAI, the maker of Grok.

The deposition adds fresh fuel to an already bitter feud between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman — one that shows zero signs of cooling down anytime soon.
