OpenAI Says Musk’s Latest Legal Move Is a 'Chaos' Tactic Ahead of Trial

OpenAI says Elon Musk’s amendment to his lawsuit would redirect potential damages to OpenAI’s nonprofit and seek the ouster of CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman, a strategic shift just weeks before a trial. Musk had been pursuing about $134 billion for alleged fraud over OpenAI’s nonprofit-to-for-profit transition, but the new filing frames the dispute around restoring the company’s nonprofit structure. OpenAI calls the move a “legal ambush” that could require different evidence and witnesses and aims to recast the narrative of the case.
