Elon Musk seeks up to $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft
Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, claiming the AI company abandoned its non-profit mission. Musk alleges that OpenAI’s transition into a for-profit model and deep partnership with Microsoft violated its founding agreement, which he helped establish. His legal team argues Musk should be compensated as an early backer based on OpenAI’s current massive valuation.
The suit could have major implications for governance and transparency in AI development as commercial interests accelerate.
