1. Elon Musk v. Samuel Altman et al
   Superior Court of California, County of San Francisco  Case No. CGC-24-612746

   Artificial IntelligenceBillionairesBreach of ContractBreach of Fiduciary DutyCharitable TrustNonprofit GovernanceOpenAITechnology

   AIElon Musk, represented by Irell & Manella LLP's Morgan Chu, filed this breach of contract and charitable trust action in February 2024 in San Francisco Superior Court against OpenAI Inc., its CEO Samuel Altman, President Gregory Brockman, and numerous OpenAI corporate entities including OAI Corporation LLC, OpenAI GP LLC, OpenAI Holdings LLC, and others, before Judge Richard Ulmer. The complaint alleged that Musk had co-founded OpenAI as a nonprofit dedicated to developing artificial general intelligence for the benefit of humanity, made substantial financial contributions to OpenAI on that basis, and that Altman and Brockman had secretly steered the organization toward a for-profit structure to enrich themselves and Microsoft — fundamentally betraying the charitable mission for which Musk had donated. Musk alleged that OpenAI's 2019 'capped profit' restructuring and its deepening relationship with Microsoft, which invested $13 billion, constituted a breach of the founding agreement and fiduciary duties owed to Musk and to the public. All named OpenAI entities were personally served on March 1, 2024. The case attracted enormous public attention given Musk's prominence and the extraordinary growth of OpenAI into one of the world's most valuable AI companies.
