Elon Musk Hires Clown Lawyer for OpenAI Battle

Elon Musk has hired a lawyer named Jaymie Parkkinen, who is also a professional clown, to help him in a legal fight against Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI.

Musk and Altman used to work together but had a disagreement about how to run OpenAI.

Musk says OpenAI is no longer acting like a charity, which was its original goal.

Parkkinen, who runs a clown fitness business, thinks his clowning skills help him in court because both jobs are about connecting with people.

Musk's company, xAI, has accused OpenAI of stealing trade secrets.

Altman has a team of big law firms helping him, while Musk has Parkkinen and another firm on his side.
