In 2015, Musk invested $38 million in OpenAI. He then fell out with everyone and, in 2024, filed a lawsuit against the company, accusing it of deception. The money was allegedly given to a non-profit organization, but OpenAI abandoned its noble mission and focused on commercial products.

A financial expert hired by Musk's lawyers calculated that Musk is entitled to a portion of OpenAI's current valuation. The estimate is between $79 billion and $134 billion (approximately 3,500 times Musk's investment).

The case will be heard by a jury in April. OpenAI has already warned its partners that Musk is preparing "ridiculous statements to attract attention."
