Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI began on April 27 in the federal court in Oakland, California, with jury selection underway. According to Odaily, opening statements are expected to start on Tuesday. Prior to the trial, both parties engaged in a public dispute on the X platform, with OpenAI dismissing the lawsuit as baseless, while Musk criticized Sam Altman, referring to him as 'Scam Altman.'
The case centers on the controversy surrounding OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model. Musk accuses OpenAI of violating its original non-profit commitment and is seeking up to $134 billion in damages. He also demands the reversal of the for-profit transition and the removal of relevant executives. The liability phase of the trial is anticipated to continue until mid-May.
