Elon Musk has taken OpenAI to court in Oakland, California, seeking tens of billions of dollars in damages and the removal of its chief executive, Sam Altman. Musk, who co-founded the artificial intelligence company, claims he was misled into funding it as a nonprofit venture, only for it to later prioritize commercial interests. Altman denies the allegations, framing the dispute as part of a broader disagreement about the company’s direction.

The high-stakes trial is expected to feature prominent technology executives and could influence the future of the global artificial intelligence race. Musk is pursuing remedies that could significantly weaken OpenAI, while a victory for the company could give Altman greater freedom to lead it. Meanwhile, Microsoft and OpenAI have revised their partnership to lessen their reliance on one another, and public backlash against artificial intelligence continues to grow.
