The legal battle accuses OpenAI and Microsoft of antitrust violations and abandoning its nonprofit mission.

  • Elon Musk has filed a preliminary injunction in federal court to stop OpenAI's planned transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity.
  • The filing alleges OpenAI engaged in anticompetitive practices, including discouraging investors from supporting competitors like Musk's xAI.
  • Musk's legal team accuses OpenAI of benefiting from sensitive information shared through its ties with Microsoft, which has invested $13 billion in the company.
  • The motion calls for a pause in OpenAI's restructuring, claiming it would cause irreparable harm to competitors and the public interest.
