A legal dispute between Elon Musk and Sam Altman centers on Musk's attempts to halt OpenAI's transition to a for-profit model, claiming it betrays the nonprofit's founding mission. Musk argues this shift, aided by Microsoft, unfairly targets his rival AI company, xAI. The conflict stems from a 2017 power struggle at OpenAI, with Musk expressing concerns over control and the potential threats of advanced AI. A court hearing is scheduled for January.
