During his appearance, Musk told the court that OpenAI was built with a clear purpose to develop artificial intelligence in a way that benefits society, not investors. He described himself as the person who set the project in motion and helped bring together the original team.Musk has asked the court to award $150 billion in damages and push OpenAI back to its original nonprofit model.Elon Musk stressed that the nonprofit structure was not an afterthought but a core principle. In his view, it was meant to keep powerful AI systems from being driven by profit motives. Musk warned that changing that approach could have wider consequences, especially when it comes to public trust in organisations that claim to work for the greater good. He also wants Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman removed from their positions.OpenAI’s legal team pushed back, saying Musk’s account leaves out key details. According to them, he had earlier supported the idea of introducing a for-profit structure and later fell out with the leadership over control. Should OpenAI be taken back to its founders ?
