Musk vs OpenAI in courtroom clash over nonprofit roots

Opening statements in a California trial accuse Elon Musk of breaching OpenAI’s nonprofit mission when it pivoted to a for-profit, alleging Altman and Brockman enriched themselves; OpenAI counters that Musk sought control and left in anger, while Microsoft’s $10 billion investment is cited as a turning point. The case, which could last about three weeks, features potential testimony from Satya Nadella and Shivon Zilis and could influence OpenAI’s path to a possible public listing, with Musk seeking roughly $134 billion in damages to be redirected to the nonprofit.
