Musk v OpenAI: Courtroom clash tees up OpenAI’s IPO hopes

Elon Musk’s ongoing lawsuits against OpenAI reach a Oakland trial over claims of breach of trust, unjust enrichment, and fraud, part of a long-running feud that also involves Musk’s xAI and potential IPOs for both OpenAI and SpaceX. OpenAI counters that Musk lacked a cognizable promise and standing. With high-profile tech leaders expected to testify, the case could damage OpenAI’s reputation and complicate its planned IPO, while also shaping the competitive AI landscape.
