Musk: "Fool" for Funding OpenAI, Sues Over Mission Shift

Elon Musk says he was a "fool" for giving $38 million to OpenAI. He testified in federal court, accusing the company he co-founded of abandoning its non-profit mission. Here's the thing: Musk helped start OpenAI in 2015, intending it for public benefit. He claims he wouldn't have donated if he knew it would become a for-profit giant, now valued at $800 billion. He's suing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, along with Microsoft, for breach of charitable trust. What's interesting is, OpenAI calls the lawsuit "envy." They say Musk is trying to slow down a commercial rival, especially since he launched his own AI company, xAI, in 2023. This trial could change how AI companies are structured globally.
