Lawyers for Elon Musk on Tuesday moved to dismiss the billionaire’s lawsuit against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, ending a months-long legal battle between co-founders of the artificial intelligence startup.

Musk — who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 — sued the company in March, accusing the ChatGPT maker of abandoning its original, nonprofit mission by reserving some of its most advanced AI technology for private customers. The lawsuit had sought a jury trial and for the company, Altman and co-founder and president Greg Brockman to pay back any profit they received from the business.

The emails appeared to show Musk acknowledging the need for the company to make large sums of money to fund the computing resources needed to power its AI ambitions, which stood in contrast to the claims in his lawsuit that OpenAI was wrongly pursuing profit.

Didn't that get leaked a while back? Or he posted something similarly to Twitter? I vaguely recall him saying that not all that long ago.

Yeah I was thinking the same. Must be a slow news day, they just repost old articles.

I think the news is that he's dropping his lawsuit, and the emails (which are old news in the tech press) are the presumed reason he's dropping the lawsuit.
