Polymarket Bets Tilt Against Musk in OpenAI Lawsuit
Crypto bettors on Polymarket are pricing a 37% chance that Elon Musk will win his lawsuit against OpenAI’s Sam Altman, down from about 87% earlier; the California trial set for April 28 centers on Musk’s claim that OpenAI abandoned its founding nonprofit principles and seeks damages reportedly between $79 billion and $134 billion, with Musk saying any proceeds would go to charity. OpenAI contends Musk knew of and agreed to the for‑profit shift as early as 2017, and most bettors (roughly 63%) expect Altman to win, highlighting ongoing tensions stemming from OpenAI’s origins and its Microsoft partnership.
