Elon Musk Sues OpenAI and Microsoft for $134 Billion

Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for over $134 billion, alleging that the two companies profited unfairly from his initial support. According to a court filing made on January 16th, OpenAI allegedly made between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion from Musk's contributions since 2015, while Microsoft made between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion. Musk argues that OpenAI, originally founded as a non-profit, shifted its focus to profit-seeking, violating initial agreements.
