We know that the development process was running late and over budget, so Musk needed capital. We did not know he'd suggested that OpenAI raise $1 billion, merge with Tesla, and name him CEO. He's angry at OpenAI for giving other investors the opportunity to invest in a powerful company he wanted for himself. So now Musk is turning back to OpenAI, hoping the latest charmless offensive can help shore up his empire. If Musk indeed believed OpenAI needed him or Tesla to succeed, he was as belligerent about it as he was wrong.

In January, Tesla disclosed that the Justice Department had requested documents related to its Autopilot and “Full Self-Driving” features. Both features are classified as driver-assist systems, and the company says on its website that the vehicles cannot drive themselves. For the first time, Tesla said in its filing that the investigations could damage the company's brand. Disclosing that vehicle range is under scrutiny “also reflects a concern about the company's representations about vehicle features,” said Frenkel, now a partner with Dickinson Wright in Washington. It's unclear if Tesla merely considered subpoenas as requests for information in prior quarterly disclosures, Frenkel said.
