Musk vs. Altman: Tech CEOs head to court Monday over fate of OpenAI
Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman and OpenAI, alleging the company illegally shifted from its nonprofit roots to a for-profit model, and is seeking to undo the conversion, remove Altman, and redirect profits to the nonprofit. Musk claims he was misled during the transformation, while OpenAI argues he was aware of and involved in discussions about the need for a for-profit arm. The high-stakes legal battle, set to begin in California federal court, could reshape OpenAI’s structure and influence the broader AI industry. Both tech leaders are expected to testify as the case unfolds.
