Elon Musk Sues OpenAI Over Abandoned Non-Profit Mission as ChatGPT Rivalry Intensifies

Jury selection begins this Monday in San Francisco, kicking off Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI. Musk alleges the AI pioneer betrayed its original non-profit promise after he invested $38 million to support a “world-benefiting” venture. The complaint claims OpenAI shifted to a for-profit model for funding, despite assurances from CEO Sam Altman that it would remain non-profit. Musk seeks to restore OpenAI’s non-profit status, remove its leadership and demands up to $134 billion in damages. Microsoft’s heavy investment and CEO Satya Nadella’s expected testimony add high stakes to this showdown.
