Elon Musk wants any damages from his OpenAI lawsuit given to the AI company’s nonprofit arm


Elon Musk is still taking OpenAI to court over its transition to a for-profit company, but today he amended the complaint so that he won’t personally get any of the $150 billion in damages he’s pushing for. The Wall Street Journal reported that if Musk wins in his upcoming trial, he wants any damages should be awarded to the OpenAI nonprofit branch. He’s also seeking OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s removal from the nonprofit’s board of directors if his suit succeeds.

Musk launched a lawsuit against OpenAI in 2024, claiming that the business had become a “closed-source de facto subsidiary” of Microsoft when it dropped its nonprofit designation. He claims that, as a co-chair of the OpenAI founding group, the change to a for-profit operation defrauded him as a donor. As a result, he’s now claiming that he, or apparently the remaining nonprofit side of OpenAI, deserve a portion of the company’s current valuation.

Considering the reputation Musk, Altman and their various business endeavors have for creating spicy PR situations, it seems likely that the exchanges between the two camps will get more heated as the trial date approaches.
