Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman, and President Greg Brockman, alleging they betrayed the company's original mission to benefit humanity by transforming it into a profit-seeking entity. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages and wants OpenAI to revert to a nonprofit.
A trial against OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman, and President Greg Brockman began in Oakland, California, with Elon Musk's lawyer alleging the defendants 'stole a charity' by abandoning their mission to benefit society. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 with Altman to develop AI for humanity's benefit. Musk claims OpenAI's transformation into a for-profit entity in 2019 betrayed its original mission. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages and wants OpenAI to revert to a nonprofit with Altman and Brockman removed. The trial is expected to feature testimony from Musk, Altman, and Microsoft chief Satya Nadella. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has urged Musk to minimize his social media activity during the trial.
