Asia Tech Wire (Aug 6) -- Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday filed a new lawsuit against OpenAI, the maker of AI chatbot ChatGPT.

Musk had sued OpenAI in February, but dropped the lawsuit in June.

Like the initial lawsuit, Musk claimed in the new suit that OpenAI and its two founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, violated the company's founding contract by prioritizing business interests over the public interest.

As Musk filed the lawsuit, Brockman announced on X, a Musk-owned social media platform, that he would be "taking a sabbatical through end of year."
