Elon Musk-Sam Altman fight over OpenAI overhaul set for March trial

Quick Summary:

A US federal judge called for an expedited trial on the core’ claim from Musk’s 2024 lawsuit that OpenAI’s restructuring plan is unlawful.

Musk, who worked together with Altman to establish OpenAI in 2015, now claims that the San Francisco-based start-up retreated from its founding purpose as a charity when it accepted billions of dollars in backing from Microsoft Corp starting in 2019 – the year after Musk left OpenAI’s board.

Gonzalez Rogers last month rejected Musk’s request to temporarily pause the ChatGPT creator’s transformation from a non-profit to a more conventional, public benefit for-profit company.
