Elon Musk has filed an amended lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, claiming the organization has strayed from its original non-profit ideals. The lawsuit highlights internal disputes and Musk's significant financial contributions to OpenAI. Musk, who was OpenAI's largest backer, alleges that the shift to a for-profit model undermines the mission to keep AI accessible. He expresses concerns about monopolization in the AI market and seeks to void OpenAI's agreements with Microsoft. The lawsuit reveals Musk's frustrations over funding and strategic decisions, including a rejected deal with Microsoft that he felt compromised OpenAI's values. Musk argues that without his support, OpenAI would not have existed.
