He imagines the innovator of our time. “Disrupting” could be his second first name. It seems that technology is in its DNA. And yet, Elon Musk, apparently, was supported – has a secret luddite sequence: he does not use a computer.
The revelation did not come from a revealing biography or interview. He came from a legal file in the high issues and the mud mud between Musk and Openai, where the future of artificial intelligence is judged in a courtroom in northern California. In the midst of thorny questions of the betrayal of companies and secrets of a billion dollars, this strange detail stole the show.
Yes, you heard it. It is not a joke of a late evening show. I’m not saying it. It comes from Musk’s own lawyers.
In a legal letter laid On June 22, Musk’s legal team postponed OpenAi accusations that they could not submit relevant documents. When Openai said that the Musk team refused to collect certain documents, his lawyers qualified the accusation of “incorrect” and, in doing so, abandoned the bomb.
“Mr. Musk does not use a computer,” wrote his lawyers for Toberoff & Associates on the first page of the three -page document.
There is only one problem with this assertion: public evidence, including Musk himself, suggest the opposite. While X employees Tell wired Musk works mainly from his phone, they also note that he was seen during a laptop.
More visibly, Musk referred to the possession of a computer in his own publications on social networks. In an article in December 2024 on X, he shared an image with the text: “This is a photo of my laptop”, explaining that he used it to test Starlink’s streaming capacities in flight. More recently, in May 2025, asked about his game configuration, Musk replied On X, he “still uses my old PC laptop with the @doge sticker made a long time ago by a fan”.
This is a photo of my laptop. He is about 3 years old. A guy in Germany gave me this cool sticker, so I don’t want to upgrade it and lose the sticker. pic.twitter.com/wjzbhpkus8

This contradiction emerges from the disorderly “discovery” phase of his trial against Openai, where he accuses CEO Sam Altman of betraying their founding mission. While the two parties are fighting on internal documents, the battle has intensified. This context means that the claim “without a computer” is less like a personal quirk and more as a potential legal tactic to limit the scope of the ridicurable documents. After all, if there are no computers, there are no computer files to be awarded.
The Musk c. Altman is a proxy war on the governance and property of AI. Musk, co-founder of Openai, now describes himself as his most eminent critic, arguing that society sold its soul to Microsoft. OPENAI, in turn, depicts Musk as an ex-bitter partner trying to interfere with a company he has chosen to leave.
But for the moment, the legal drama is overshadowed by a bizarre affirmation which is apparently contradicted by Musk’s own public statements: the man who continues on the future of artificial intelligence could try to persuade a judge whom he has personally abandoned one of the most fundamental tools in the digital world.
