Musk seeks up to $134B from OpenAI and Microsoft over early backing

Elon Musk has filed a lawsuit seeking as much as $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing they earned “wrongful gains” from his early seed funding and involvement with OpenAI. He estimates OpenAI’s gains at about $65.5–$109.4 billion and Microsoft’s at $13.3–$25.1 billion; OpenAI and Microsoft call the demand baseless and part of a harassment campaign. A jury trial is set for April in Oakland. Musk left OpenAI in 2018 and now runs xAI; the defendants contend there is no evidence they aided or abetted OpenAI’s actions or that the proposed damages are lawful.
