USA: Elon Musk has never liked how Microsoft and OpenAI joined forces to create a successful business. But this time, he's intensified his distaste for the tech juggernaut with its headquarters in Redmond.

Microsoft has been threatened with legal action by the CEO of Twitter. And no, he isn't doing it because he despises Microsoft.

One of the founders of OpenAI, the organisation that created ChatGPT, is Musk. But in 2018, he left the company. Microsoft invested in the business for the first time a year later.

Musk dislikes the Microsoft-OpenAI collaboration. He once claimed that Microsoft now controls OpenAI as a "maximum profit" business. Musk intends to create a rival AI chatbot to take on theirs.

Musk's threat was in response to a tweet that stated Microsoft's ad platform would no longer support Twitter. The decision was reportedly made by the tech giant as a result of Twitter paying to access its API. Using Twitter data, they conducted illegal training. Lawsuit time', tweeted the CEO of Twitter in response. What is Musk alluding to here, though? Who instructed who?

Uncertainty surrounds the billionaire's threat. He seems to be referring to OpenAI's use of Twitter to train its large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4 and GPT-3.5. Resources from social media are covered in LLM training. Of course, he ought to be putting OpenAI in danger, but Musk seems to have a problem with Microsoft. After all, GPT-4 has been incorporated into a number of Microsoft products.

Whether Musk is upset about OpenAI/Microsoft using Twitter improperly or whether he is dissatisfied with the message on Microsoft's advertising platform is unclear.

Microsoft's Smart Campaign Service will no longer support Twitter as of April 25, according to a message there. For access to the Twitter API, large corporations like Microsoft will have to fork over as much as $40,000.

When we state that Microsoft will remove Twitter from its ad platform, we do not mean that Microsoft will stop running advertisements on Twitter. Only that Twitter won't be an option for those using Microsoft's advertising platform's ad campaigns.

Whether or not Musk pursues the lawsuit, his statement foreshadows the coming data war between AI companies and data owners.
Reddit also intends to charge AI businesses for data scraping.

It's crucial for LLM training that informal, back-and-forth conversations are captured in the data from social media sites like Reddit and Twitter.
