it would actually be really hilarious if all the GenAI corpos sued each other and they all lost
we don’t live in a perfect world though
What’s he calling it, XAI?
Oh not at all, why would you think that?
It’s called xAI.
This is America, you can basically sue anyone for anything.
Whether you’ll be successful or not is a different question.
You can if the company is a non-profit like open AI. Basically when you take on investments for a company you declare what the goal/purpose of a company is, either to make money (for profit) or for some other nebulous cause (non-profit) eg. Ending hunger or saving humanity from AI. If an investor thinks you aren’t following that goal and are pursuing some other goal then they can sue the company.
Sadly most companies are for profit so they can only be sued if they’re trying to do something that doesn’t optimally make money. So a fossil fuel company can’t be sued for legally dumping poison into the air if it’s the most cost efficient method, but they can be sued if they do a less cost efficient solution that would make air quality better because improving people’s health isnt there goal, making money is.
Boring company/hyperloop is the clearest example.
Literally any subject matter expert on the subject of transportation can spell out a half a dozen things that make no sense/are actively harmful about all the attention and investment these projects got. Well There's Your Problem has a 3 hour slideshow on the subject, for example. Musk was even caught on the record admitting one of its motivations was to fuck with real transportation projects like California HSR. The whole thing was all-but-provably an elaborate con.

Elon is just absolutely desperate to be a part of ANY conversation at all, isn’t he?
He can’t stand the idea of one single popular topic du jour that he doesn’t have things to spout off about.
