Musk Files to Oust Altman and Brockman From OpenAI, Demands Nonprofit Restoration Ahead of April 27 Trial

CNBC·high signal

Elon Musk escalated his legal battle with OpenAI in an April 7 court filing, seeking removal of CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman and restoration of the company's nonprofit status. Musk's attorneys previously sought up to $134 billion in damages, but the new filing directs any winnings to OpenAI's nonprofit entity rather than Musk personally. Jury selection begins April 27 in Oakland federal court — the highest-stakes AI governance trial ever.
