Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Elon Musk Sought Mark Zuckerberg's Support for OpenAI Bid, Court Filing Reveals
Caption: Elon Musk Sought Mark Zuckerberg’s Support for OpenAI Bid, Court Filing Reveals. Elon Musk attempted to enlist Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg to support his $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI earlier this year. OpenAI disclosed Musk’s communications with Zuckerberg in a court filing, noting discussions about financing or investment opportunities. Zuckerberg ultimately did not participate in Musk’s consortium for the OpenAI bid. OpenAI has asked a federal judge to compel Meta to produce documents and communications related to the bid or potential restructuring of OpenAI. Meta opposed the request, arguing that OpenAI should obtain relevant documents directly from Musk and his xAI startup. The court filings highlight that Musk and Meta are two of OpenAI’s biggest competitors in the AI industry. Earlier this month, a U.S. judge ruled that Musk must face OpenAI’s claims that his actions, including a “sham bid,” harmed the company. Musk had previously sued OpenAI over its transition to a for-profit model; OpenAI countersued in April 2025. A jury trial involving Musk and OpenAI is scheduled for spring 2026.
