Elon Musk sues OpenAI over alleged 'betrayal' of nonprofit mission

Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, and affiliated entities, accusing them of violating their original agreement to prioritize public benefit over profits.

Musk claims that Altman and Brockman steered the nonprofit towards commercialization, in contrast to its promised nonprofit status. The lawsuit alleges that OpenAI's partnership with Microsoft led to a shift towards maximizing profits for the tech giant, betraying its founding mission.

The legal action comes after Musk's concerns about OpenAI's direction over the past year. Despite donating millions to the nonprofit, Musk raised objections to its shift towards a for-profit model.

Musk aims to hold OpenAI accountable for its actions and ensure that its technology serves the public interest. OpenAI has yet to respond to the lawsuit, which could have significant implications for the future of AI development and ethics.
