Elon Musk Files Expanded Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Sam Altman

Musk alleges deceit and breach of contract over OpenAI's shift to for-profit and exclusive deals.

  • Musk's new lawsuit includes 15 counts, up from the previous five, accusing OpenAI and Altman of fraud and breach of contract.
  • The complaint claims Musk was misled into supporting OpenAI under false pretenses of maintaining a non-profit, open-source mission.
  • Musk seeks to void OpenAI's exclusive licensing deal with Microsoft and demands a constructive trust over OpenAI's assets.
  • The lawsuit highlights tensions dating back to 2018 when Musk opposed OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model.
  • Musk's legal action follows his establishment of xAI, a competing AI lab, after withdrawing a similar lawsuit in June.
