A jury is deliberating after closing arguments in Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing OpenAI of abandoning its non-profit mission. OpenAI argues Musk filed too late and knew of its for-profit plans. The verdict could impact OpenAI’s IPO and reshape competition in the AI sector, including rivals like xAI and Anthropic.
Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI delivered closing arguments in a landmark trial whose outcome could influence the future of artificial intelligence.
Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, sued the company in 2024. He accuses CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman of betraying OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission by shifting toward a for-profit model. Musk invested about $38 million in OpenAI’s early years.
The trial’s stakes are high. A verdict in Musk’s favor could affect OpenAI’s planned initial public offering and broader power dynamics in the AI industry, including Musk’s own xAI and Anthropic. All three companies are preparing for major IPOs.
