Altman Invites Musk to GPT-5.5 Launch Party While $134B Trial Enters Week 2
Sam Altman extends olive branch to Elon Musk for tomorrow's GPT-5.5 launch while they're battling in federal court. The audacity is the point.
Sam Altman just invited Elon Musk to OpenAI's GPT-5.5 launch party happening tomorrow in San Francisco. This while they're in week 2 of a $134 billion federal trial where Musk called OpenAI a "stolen charity."
The olive branch came via Altman's social media Saturday: "World needs more love." OpenAI's Codex agent is selecting attendees. The message is clear: come see the model you're suing us over.
The audacity is the point.
Altman extending the invite while OpenAI's lawyers are arguing Musk has no rightful claim to the company. The party invitation is PR warfare disguised as magnanimity. Polymarket gives it 70.5% odds Musk won't show.
The timing isn't coincidental. GPT-5.5 launching while the trial is running means the jury sees the product Musk claims was stolen. Every headline writes itself.
