Musk, an original OpenAI co-founder, sued the company, CEO Sam Altman, and President Greg Brockman in 2024, seeking $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, with proceeds going to OpenAI's charitable arm. Jury selection was completed on Monday in Oakland, California federal court.
Musk alleges that Altman and Brockman misled him about OpenAI's founding mission: he will argue they abandoned the nonprofit focus on helping society to pursue profit instead. Internal documents revealed in court include a 2017 diary entry from Brockman stating "This is the only chance we have to get out from Elon."
The trial concerns OpenAI, the firm known for the ChatGPT chatbot, and involves a nine-person jury deciding the case's outcome.
