Musk Sues OpenAI Over Its Shift to For-Profit Company

Elon Musk filed a lawsuit seeking to force OpenAI back to nonprofit status and remove CEO Sam Altman, arguing the company broke its founding agreement by becoming for-profit in 2024. Musk co-founded OpenAI but left its board in 2018. The suit claims the company abandoned its original mission of safe, widely accessible AI to chase profit instead. The case could reshape how founding contracts work at AI organizations.
