Musk Demands $134 Billion from OpenAI and Microsoft in AI Startup Dispute

Elon Musk alleges that OpenAI and Microsoft owe him up to $134 billion, claiming 'wrongful gains' from his early support of OpenAI. Musk, who left OpenAI in 2018, states that OpenAI's transformation to a for-profit entity violated its founding mission. The trial is set for April.

Elon Musk is pursuing a legal claim for up to $134 billion against OpenAI and Microsoft, asserting that he deserves the 'wrongful gains' they acquired due to his initial backing of OpenAI, as per a recent court submission.

Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 and believed his contributions played a significant role in the company's and Microsoft's financial successes. However, as the trial is set for April, there's a heated legal battle with OpenAI and Microsoft refuting his claims.

The lawsuit deems OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model a betrayal of its founding values, with Musk's claims backed by financial expert C. Paul Wazzan. Elon Musk's potential punitive measures include further financial penalties and potential injunctions.
