Musk (TSLA) Seeks $134B in OpenAI Lawsuit Against Altman and Brockman

Elon Musk is continuing his testimony in a lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, initiated two years ago. Musk claims he contributed approximately $38 million to OpenAI, which he alleges was misused for commercial purposes contrary to its nonprofit mission. He is seeking $134 billion in 'wrongful gains' and asserts his early contributions were critical to OpenAI's founding. OpenAI has dismissed Musk's claims as baseless, stating he is dissatisfied with the direction of the organization. The trial is ongoing in federal court in Oakland, California.
