Elon Musk and OpenAI have agreed to fast-track their legal battle over OpenAI’s transition to a for-profit model, with a trial set for later this year. The case, playing out in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, is the latest in a public feud between Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left before its rise, sued the company last year, accusing it of abandoning its original mission to develop AI for humanity’s benefit rather than profit. OpenAI, now a leader in artificial intelligence with its ChatGPT platform, argues the shift is necessary to secure funding and remain competitive in the costly AI industry. The judge denied Musk’s request to halt OpenAI’s transition but approved an expedited trial schedule.
OpenAI recently secured $6.6 billion in funding and is in talks for an additional $40 billion round with SoftBank, contingent on restructuring to reduce nonprofit control. The company maintains that its for-profit pivot is essential to sustaining its growth and innovation. Meanwhile, Musk, who launched competing AI startup xAI in 2023, has been accused by OpenAI of attempting to slow down a rival.
Adding to the drama, Altman rejected a $97.4 billion unsolicited takeover bid from a Musk-led group with a simple "no thank you." OpenAI welcomed the court’s decision on March 4, calling Musk’s legal efforts an attempt to hinder its progress for personal gain.
As AI competition intensifies, the outcome of this lawsuit could shape the industry’s future, with OpenAI defending its business strategy and Musk seeking to challenge its dominance.
