Musk Adds Microsoft to OpenAI Lawsuit With Federal Antitrust Claims

On November 15, 2024, Elon Musk amended his February 2024 lawsuit against OpenAI's leadership to include Microsoft as a defendant and introduce federal antitrust allegations. The expanded complaint now targets not just governance and mission drift, but the cloud infrastructure partnerships underlying OpenAI's commercial scaling. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers presides over the federal case. The antitrust angle may prove more significant than original fiduciary duty claims, potentially shaping how AI companies structure cloud partnerships.
