TL;DR

In a California courtroom, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified that Elon Musk sought a majority stake in OpenAI (initially floated at 90%) as the company shifted from a charitable mission to a for‑profit model, countering Musk’s claim that Altman betrayed the mission; Musk is suing for about $150 billion and seeks the removal of Altman and Greg Brockman, a case that could reshape OpenAI’s leadership and products like ChatGPT amid ongoing AI-regulation debates and a potential IPO.
