Jury selection began on April 27th in Northern California federal court for Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman. Musk dropped fraud claims against OpenAI and Altman before trial, with a federal judge granting the request on Friday. Two claims will proceed to trial.
Musk accuses OpenAI of abandoning its founding mission to develop AI to benefit humanity and shifting focus to profits instead. He is asking for the removal of Altman and Brockman, for OpenAI to stop operating as a public benefit corporation, and for OpenAI's nonprofit to receive up to $150 billion in damages if he wins.
OpenAI counters that the lawsuit is "a baseless and jealous bid to derail a competitor" designed to boost Musk's own companies including SpaceX, xAI, and X, which have launched Grok as a competitor to ChatGPT.
