Elon Musk threatens lawsuit against Microsoft over alleged illegal Twitter data

Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has issued a vague legal threat against Microsoft, accusing the company of using Twitter data illegally. Musk’s statement was a response to a tweet that mentioned Microsoft’s advertising platform would no longer support Twitter, allegedly due to Twitter’s recent changes that require payment to access its API.

OpenAI, the company responsible for creating products such as ChatGPT, received a noteworthy investment from Microsoft, which is actively incorporating AI into its platforms such as Bing, Edge, and Microsoft 365. However, it is important to note that OpenAI and Microsoft are separate entities. This has led some to speculate that Musk’s legal threat is related to OpenAI’s use of Twitter data to train its language models.
