Musk accuses Altman of stealing a charity in OpenAI trial
Elon Musk's $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI opened Tuesday with his attorney calling Sam Altman a thief who "stole a charity." The trial in Oakland federal court hinges on OpenAI's 2019 pivot from nonprofit to for-profit structure, which Musk claims violated the founding mission he funded with $38 million. OpenAI counters that Musk supported the transition and sued only after failing to become CEO. With explosive testimony expected from Musk, Altman, and Microsoft's Satya Nadella, the outcome could reshape how founder disputes over mission drift get resolved.
