Today the process between Elon Musk and Sam Altman begins. Musk is seeking damages of over 130 billion dollars.

A large-scale lawsuit between Elon Musk and Sam Altman begins Monday in California, marking a long-standing rivalry. Musk has accused Altman of violating the founding agreement of OpenAI, transforming the non-profit organization into a for-profit entity. Musk has also summoned OpenAI's president, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft to court, seeking damages of over 134 billion dollars. The trial will include testimonies from major names in Silicon Valley, such as Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft.

OpenAI has dismissed the allegations, arguing that Musk agreed to the company's restructuring and that his funding was a donation, not an investment. Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, left the board in 2018, and his relationship with Altman has since deteriorated. The lawsuit has significant implications for OpenAI, which is preparing to go public.
