Dorsey, Musk: “Delete all IP law”
April 14, 2025
On April 11th, Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, posted “delete all IP law” on the social media platform, now rebranded as X. Current owner Elon Musk swiftly responded to the tweet with: “I agree.”
AI companies including OpenAI (which Musk co-founded, competes with, and is challenging in court) are facing numerous lawsuits alleging that they’ve violated copyright to train their models.
Ed Newton-Rex (whose non-profit, Fairly Trained, certifies AI training practices that respect creators’ rights) described the Dorsey/Musk exchange as “Tech execs declaring all-out war on creators who don’t want their life’s work pillaged for profit.”
Dorsey elaborated on his stance in subsequent replies, writing that there are “much greater models to pay creators” while claiming “the current ones take way too much from them and only rent-seek.”
