Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman, and Microsoft, alleging they betrayed the company's original nonprofit mission. Musk claims OpenAI formed a for-profit entity in 2019, 13 months after he left the board, and kept him in the dark about their plans. The trial is set to begin in Oakland, California, with jury selection on Monday and opening arguments on Tuesday. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages, with proceeds going to OpenAI's charitable arm. OpenAI's lawyers counter that Musk is motivated by a desire to control OpenAI and prop up his own AI lab, xAI. Heavy hitters, including Musk, Altman, and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, are expected to testify. The trial may complicate OpenAI's plans for a potential initial public offering and cast doubt on its leadership.
