Musk: OpenAI’s Altman ‘stole a charity’ as trial begins
Opening arguments have begun in a legal battle over whether OpenAI abandoned its non-profit mission for profit. Elon Musk claims that CEO Sam Altman “stole a charity” when he transformed the artificial intelligence startup into a for-profit company. The case centers on OpenAI’s founding promise—to develop AI safely for the public good. Musk says the $850 billion startup sold out that mission. The trial will determine if Altman and OpenAI broke that trust. No verdict has been reached.
