Elon Musk Sues OpenAI Over Nonprofit Claims

Elon Musk Sues OpenAI Over Nonprofit Claims

Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman and Microsoft.

He says OpenAI, which he helped start, was supposed to be nonprofit and share AI for free.

But he thinks they changed their mind and made it for profit instead.

Musk gave them money when they started in 2015.

He left in 2018.

Now there's a trial to decide if they broke their promise.

Microsoft is now the biggest owner of OpenAI.

The trial will be in California on April 27.

Musk says Altman tricked him by saying OpenAI would be nonprofit.
