Do you think Microsoft would actually take a risk like that? They've invested heavily in Open AI, so I'd be pretty surprised if they don't have access to the IP.
Like you said the legal details aren't public, but I can't imagine they don't have access to some of the IP.

And to add to this, what would be the point of keeping the terms of the deal secret if it's just a simple investment on the part of MS? You'd think "Open" AI would want would to be open about these things.
And as an initial investor in OpenAI I'd assume that Musk would be connected enough to get details about the deal even if those details haven't been made public.

Isn't Microsoft sitting on a huge pile of cash? It seems that having a piece of the AI pie if it's truly going to explode as much as everyone seems to be expecting, plus free access to their APIs, would be reason enough.

This would assume they have no strategy and are just hoping Open AI won’t back out of any deal or somehow degrade their product and then they’d be left in the dark.
I would find this hard to believe.
As far as I know, the terms of their deal with Microsoft aren’t public, but all the reporting I’ve seen has suggested the opposite - that OpenAI basically kept full control over anything resembling the crown jewels. And why wouldn’t they? It was a frothier market when the deal was made, and it’s not like they couldn’t have raised capital from dozens of other sources.
