Elon Musk and Sam Altman are locked in a high-stakes legal battle that could reshape the future of artificial intelligence. Musk accuses OpenAI of betraying its original mission—to develop AI for the benefit of humanity—by prioritizing profit. His lawsuit demands the removal of Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman, along with $150 billion in damages. OpenAI counters that Musk's claims are baseless, designed to handicap a rival. The trial's outcome may set a precedent for how AI companies balance ethics and commercial interests.
