Sam Altman and Elon Musk Sure Dislike Each Other

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Sam Altman has gone to federal trial in Oakland.

Musk alleges OpenAI abandoned its nonprofit mission by shifting toward a for-profit model and is seeking major remedies, including Altman’s removal.

OpenAI says Musk is acting hypocritically and out of competitive jealousy, not concern for its founding mission.

The case could affect OpenAI’s structure, leadership, and broader debates over whether AI should serve profit or public benefit.
