A U.S. court has denied Elon Musk's request for a preliminary injunction against OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company he helped fund. On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in Oakland, California, ruled against Musk, though she indicated a trial on OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model could be expedited later this year.
Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, last year, arguing that the company had strayed from its original nonprofit mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity. He claimed OpenAI, backed by Microsoft, is now prioritizing profits over its founding principles.
OpenAI maintains that shifting to a for-profit structure is necessary to attract the funding required for cutting-edge AI advancements. Neither Musk, OpenAI, nor Microsoft responded immediately to requests for comment on the ruling.
The case reflects growing tensions in the AI industry, where massive investments are needed to remain competitive. With the lawsuit still active, the legal battle over OpenAI’s transformation is far from over.
