Two companies, OpenAI and Microsoft, failed to escape trial after Elon Musk accused the startup he founded, led by Sam Altman, of betraying its foundational mission as a public benefit non-profit. Musk alleges that the company violated its core purpose by securing billions in funding from software giant Microsoft and planning to operate as a for-profit entity. On Thursday, a federal judge in Oakland, California, rejected requests from both companies to dismiss Musk's lawsuits and ordered the case to be sent to a jury trial, scheduled for late April. A spokesperson for OpenAI stated that Musk's lawsuit is noteworthy. It is worth mentioning that Musk helped Altman launch OpenAI in 2015 before founding his own AI company in 2023.
