The company’s legal response to Musk’s lawsuit was just made public and, as we expected, OpenAI refutes the crux of Musk’s argument: that it violated a founding contract with him when it became a commercial entity.

From OpenAI’s court filing, which is really just an official version of its public response to Musk last week:

Were this case to proceed to discovery, the evidence would show that Musk supported a for-profit structure for OpenAI, to be controlled by Musk himself, and dropped the project when his wishes were not followed. Seeing the remarkable technological advances OpenAI has achieved, Musk now wants that success for himself.
