Elon Musk Doesn’t Use a Computer," Claims His Lawyer — Internet Disagrees
🔥 In the latest twist of the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI legal saga, Musk's lawyer has made a surprising claim in court:
"Musk does not use a computer." 😮
📄 The statement appeared in a recent legal filing, reportedly meant to explain why Musk couldn’t provide certain electronic records — like files or emails from a computer — in response to OpenAI’s discovery request.
But the internet was quick to react... because the claim doesn’t quite match Musk’s own public posts. 🕵️♂️
📱🧠 Musk’s Own Posts Say Otherwise
On X (formerly Twitter), which Musk owns, there are multiple posts that clearly show him using a gaming laptop:
🎮 Dec 2024 — Musk shared a pic of a laptop with a Dogecoin sticker, saying he was testing Starlink’s in-flight internet while playing Diablo.
🐶 “Too cool to lose,” he wrote about the fan-gifted Doge sticker.
💾 June 2025 — He posted again:
“Still using my ancient PC laptop with the @DOGE sticker made long ago by a fan.”
💻 The laptop? A Gigabyte Aero — a model popular with gamers and power users.
🔐 Even earlier, in Feb 2024, Musk complained about Microsoft's forced login setup, saying it gave the company’s AI access to his new PC. He even tagged Satya Nadella, urging Microsoft to restore the skip-login option.
⚖️ What’s Really Going On?
This odd claim came during Musk’s lawsuit against Sam Altman, OpenAI, and Microsoft, filed in March 2024.
📉 Musk argues that OpenAI betrayed its nonprofit roots by partnering too deeply with Microsoft and monetizing GPT-4 at massive scale — something he says the organization was never meant to do.
💼 So, when OpenAI requested computer records, Musk’s legal team responded:
“We checked his phone and email — no need to search a computer, because he doesn’t use one.” 🤔
🧩 Was this a legal maneuver to limit data sharing? Or a genuine (but questionable) claim? No one’s sure. But it’s certainly added fuel to an already dramatic tech industry feud.
🎭 From surprise lawsuits and secret boardroom drama to public contradictions and social media posts — the Musk vs. OpenAI battle is proving to be one of the most fascinating showdowns in Silicon Valley.
🔍 Stay tuned. With Musk involved, the next plot twist is never far away.
