Elon Musk Seeks Up to $134 Billion in Lawsuit Against OpenAI and Microsoft

Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit seeking up to $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging they breached founding agreements by shifting OpenAI from a non-profit to a for-profit model and forming a commercial partnership with Microsoft. Musk claims this transition abandoned OpenAI's original mission and resulted in wrongful gains from his early financial and strategic support. OpenAI and Microsoft deny the allegations, describing the lawsuit as baseless. A jury trial is scheduled for April 2026 in a US federal court.
