Elon Musk is suing OpenAI and Sam Altman for 134 billion dollars, claiming they took his 38 million in donations to build a nonprofit saving humanity from AI risks, then secretly pivoted into a 500-billion-dollar for-profit tied to Microsoft. A federal judge just refused to dismiss the case and ruled the trial starts April 27th in Oakland, where a jury will decide if you can legally promise to be a charity, take someone's money, then become a corporate giant without consequences. Musk wants every dollar awarded back to OpenAI's nonprofit arm and both Altman and Greg Brockman fired, and the judge is letting an AI safety expert testify about existential risks even though OpenAI argued it might scare the jury about threats to themselves and their families.
