Part 2/8:
Elon Musk launched a legal dispute against OpenAI after alleging that the company exploited him under the guise of being a nonprofit organization designed to benefit humanity. Musk's assertions carry a dramatic undercurrent, reflecting his belief that he was misled regarding the organization's true intentions. This belief forms the crux of the ongoing litigation, which has intensified over the past year.
Musk's latest lawsuit has expanded its scope, now including Microsoft as a co-defendant. He accuses both firms of monopolistic practices, arguing that OpenAI's shift away from its nonprofit roots compromises fair competition within the AI industry. While skepticism from the courts surrounds Musk's claims, he has been granted a platform to present his case, with a trial scheduled for 2027.
