🟠 JUST IN: Elon Musk vs OpenAI Heads to Trial

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI will go to trial after a U.S. judge ruled there is enough evidence for a jury to review the case.

⚖️ What’s the case about?

Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, claims the company and CEO Sam Altman violated OpenAI’s original non-profit mission by shifting toward a for-profit model. He argues this change led to “ill-gotten gains,” including massive deals with Microsoft.

📌 Key points:

• Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said disputed facts should be decided by a jury

• Trial scheduled for March

• Musk says he contributed ~$38M (60%) of early funding based on promises OpenAI would remain non-profit

• Lawsuit also names Greg Brockman and Microsoft

• Microsoft denies aiding or abetting any wrongdoing

🧠 Bigger picture:

The legal battle comes amid intense competition in generative AI, with Musk’s xAI (Grok) directly competing against OpenAI.

OpenAI has called the lawsuit “baseless”, while Musk’s legal team says they are ready to present evidence to the jury.

This case could have major implications for AI governance, nonprofit ethics, and Big Tech partnerships.
