Elon Musk plans to proceed with his highly-watched lawsuit against OpenAI, his lawyer Marc Toberoff said, hours after the AI startup dialed back its earlier plan to remove control by its non-profit arm.
OpenAI announced it will keep its nonprofit parent in control, a significant shift that reduces CEO Sam Altman’s influence and maintains the original governance structure. Under the revised proposal, the nonprofit will retain authority over the for-profit entity and hold a major ownership stake.
The move follows mounting criticism and legal scrutiny, including Musk’s lawsuit, which accuses OpenAI of abandoning its mission to develop AI for the benefit of humanity.
Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, is seeking to block the transition away from nonprofit oversight.
A jury trial is currently scheduled for March 2026.
