Elon Musk is suing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for over $130 billion, alleging fraudulent conversion of OpenAI from nonprofit to for-profit in 2023. Musk, an early $38 million donor, seeks to reverse the conversion and remove Altman and cofounder Greg Brockman from leadership. Key evidence includes Brockman's diary revealing hidden plans to commercialize the company, though legal experts view Musk's case as unlikely to succeed under nonprofit law.
