Elon Musk: Elon Musk does not use the computer, his lawyer made an unbelievable claim..
The ongoing legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI has taken a new turn. Musk's lawyer recently claimed in a court that Musk "doesn't use a computer". The information was first reported by Wired. The claim was made in a document that Musk filed to respond to allegations raised by OpenAI. OpenAI had said that Musk and his AI startup xAI had failed to provide investigative information in the lawsuit filed earlier this year, although this claim by Musk's lawyer has now become questionable, as several posts made by Musk himself show the opposite.
Musk's tweets raise questions.
On xAI (formerly known as Twitter and now owned by Musk), Musk has repeatedly mentioned using his laptop. In a post in December 2024, Musk shared a picture of his laptop and revealed that he was testing Starlink's flight streaming capabilities while playing Diablo. The laptop in the photo had a large Dogecoin-themed sticker on the lid, which was given to Musk by a German fan.
In a post dated June 1, 2025, Musk again expressed his affection for the same laptop, writing, “Still using my old PC laptop with a @DOGE sticker on it, made by a fan a long time ago.” The laptop was identified as a Gigabyte Aero, which is popular among PC gamers. This indicates that Musk uses it occasionally for personal or professional work.
Musk also bought a new laptop.
In February 2024, Musk posted about purchasing a new PC laptop. In that post, he objected to Microsoft's setup process, which required users to create an account before using the device. Musk wrote, "This is a mess," and asked others if they had seen the same problem. The very next day, he posted tagging Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and requesting the company to reinstate the option to skip Microsoft account login during setup.
Musk's lawyer's claim questioned
In light of these public posts, the claim by Musk's lawyer that he does not use a computer has now become questionable. The context of this strange contradiction is hidden in Musk's ongoing lawsuit against Sam Altman, OpenAI, and Microsoft. In the lawsuit, Musk alleges that these companies have transformed OpenAI from its original non-profit mission into a for-profit business that is now controlled by Microsoft's business interests.
What happened in the lawsuit?
This legal claim was made when OpenAI demanded documents and records that could potentially include emails or files created on the computer. Musk's lawyer responded by saying that he examined Musk's phone and emails and also claimed that there was no need to search for a computer because, according to Musk, he does not use a computer.
