Musk Renews Lawsuit Against OpenAI Founders

Elon Musk has renewed his legal battle against OpenAI, accusing its co-founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, of abandoning the nonprofit mission to benefit humanity in favor of commercial gains. Musk alleges that he was deceived into investing $44 million under the belief that OpenAI would remain a nonprofit focused on developing and sharing safe AI technology. The lawsuit claims Altman and Brockman manipulated Musk's concerns about AI risks to secure his support, only to later pivot the company to a for-profit model and partner with Microsoft in a multibillion-dollar deal. Musk previously filed and withdrew a similar lawsuit in June. OpenAI has defended its actions, stating that the transition to a for-profit entity was necessary to acquire resources for advancing AI technology and benefiting humanity broadly.
