Opening statements are underway in Elon Musk's $134 billion lawsuit against OpenAI in federal court in Oakland. Musk, who co-founded the company, alleges that OpenAI violated its original mission to operate as a nonprofit focused on developing artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity. His attorney stated that Musk invested approximately $38 million to help launch OpenAI with the goal of keeping its technology open source and prioritizing public safety over profit. OpenAI's legal team pushed back, calling the lawsuit a "pageant of hypocrisy." The company argues that Musk is motivated by competition from his own artificial intelligence venture, xAI, and claims that OpenAI made no binding promises tied to his early investment. The judge expects the trial to last about three weeks before going to the advisory jury for deliberations.
