According to AIbase, billionaire Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI has made significant progress. Recently, U.S. District Court Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated that the existing evidence is sufficient to move the case to a jury trial stage.

Musk accuses OpenAI and its co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of abandoning their original nonprofit mission and violating contractual agreements by pursuing profit. As an early investor, Musk claims that his investment of approximately $38 million and strategic support were based on OpenAI's commitment to remain a public benefit organization. However, the company allegedly secretly planned to transition to a for-profit model during its restructuring, which he says constitutes fraud and unjust enrichment.

Although OpenAI insists the lawsuit is baseless and part of Musk's "ongoing harassment," and emphasizes that its restructuring was necessary to raise substantial funds for developing general artificial intelligence (AGI), the judge noted that evidence, including Brockman's 2017 diary, shows that its leadership repeatedly assured maintaining a nonprofit structure, which contrasts sharply with its later commercial initiatives.
