He fancies himself the innovator of our time. “Disrupt” could be his middle name. Technology, it seems, is in his DNA. And yet, Elon Musk apparently—supposedly—has a secret Luddite streak: he doesn’t use a computer. The revelation didn’t come from a biography or a tell-all interview. It came from a legal filing in the high-stakes, mud-slinging lawsuit between Musk and OpenAI, where the future of artificial intelligence is on trial in a Northern California courtroom.
