Elon Musk is suing OpenAI CEO Sam Altman for over $130 billion, alleging fraudulent conversion of OpenAI from nonprofit to for-profit in 2023.

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.
