⚖️ Former OpenAI Employees Support Musk's Lawsuit Against OpenAI's Restructuring

More than a dozen former OpenAI employees have submitted legal documents to support Elon Musk's lawsuit to block OpenAI's restructuring. They believe that removing the control of the non - profit organization would "fundamentally violate" its mission. Musk sued OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman last year, accusing them of deviating from the original mission of developing AI for the benefit of humanity rather than corporate profits. OpenAI argued that in order to raise funds from investors, it needed to remove the control of the non - profit organization and said that the non - profit organization would still hold shares in OpenAI. OpenAI needs to complete the transformation by the end of the year to secure $40 billion in financing. Musk and Altman co - founded OpenAI in 2015, but Musk left before the company became a tech star and founded his own AI company xAI in 2023. A jury trial is expected to begin next spring for both sides.
