Elon Musk is suing OpenAI, claiming it betrayed its nonprofit mission after evolving into a for-profit entity. Musk invested $38 million in OpenAI from 2015 to 2017 but lost confidence in Sam Altman's leadership. He alleges Altman attempted to take control of the charity and is seeking $150 billion in damages. OpenAI's legal team argues there was never a commitment to remain a nonprofit and claims Musk's lawsuit undermines the company for his own venture, xAI. OpenAI is preparing for a potential IPO valued at $1 trillion.
