OpenAI Calls for Probe Into Musk Ahead of High-Stakes Trial. OpenAI has urged authorities in California and Delaware to investigate Elon Musk over what it describes as “anti-competitive behavior,” just weeks before a major legal battle between the two sides is set to begin. The dispute stems from a lawsuit Musk filed in 2024 against OpenAI and CEO Sam Altman, accusing the company of abandoning its original nonprofit mission as it shifts toward a for-profit structure. Musk, a co-founder who left in 2018, now leads rival AI venture xAI — creator of the Grok chatbot. In a new move, OpenAI has sent formal letters to state attorneys general, warning that Musk’s lawsuit — which reportedly seeks over $100 billion in damages — could severely damage the organization. The company argues that such legal pressure risks undermining its broader mission to develop artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity. The case is expected to go before a jury in California this April, following a judge’s earlier ruling. OpenAI also pushed back on Musk’s claims, suggesting regulators may not have fully examined its restructuring plans. With two of the biggest names in tech now on a collision course, this legal showdown could have major implications for the future of AI development and competition.
