Sam Altman is about to get grilled in court over how he flipped a charity into a $1T empire.

Here's the timeline:

2015: Musk, Altman, Brockman launch OpenAI as a nonprofit. Mission: build AGI for humanity, zero profit motive.

2015-2017: Musk dumps ~$38M of his own cash into it.

2018: Musk exits after losing internal power struggle.

2019: OpenAI spins up a for-profit arm. Nonprofit stays on paper, but the for-profit becomes the real beast.

2022-2026: ChatGPT goes parabolic. Microsoft floods in billions. Valuation rockets toward $1T. IPO incoming.

Now: Musk is suing for $134B in "wrongful gains," wants Altman and Brockman removed, and aims to reverse parts of the restructuring. Every dollar he's claiming goes back to the nonprofit, not his pocket.

A charity meant to serve humanity is now a trillion-dollar machine run by a CEO who cashes out if it moons.

And they still call it OpenAI. Nothing open about it.
