Overview

  • Musk’s latest court filing seeks as much as $134 billion combined from OpenAI and Microsoft based on an expert damages model.
  • The Musk-retained expert values OpenAI at $65.5 billion to $109.43 billion and ties Musk’s claimed entitlement to his early $38 million contribution and non-cash support.
  • The filing demands $13.3 billion to $25.06 billion from Microsoft, described as a key partner and investor in OpenAI.
  • Musk alleges OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission in a shift that benefited Microsoft and breached the founders’ understanding.
  • A judge denied attempts by OpenAI and Microsoft to dismiss the suit, and OpenAI calls the demand “unseriös,” saying Musk sought full control and a Tesla merger in 2018 while now trying to slow a rival after launching xAI’s Grok.
