Why Elon Musk and Sam Altman are fighting over OpenAI

elon musk is suing sam altman for more than $130 billion in damages. musk co-founded openai with altman back in 2015 — the company that built chatgpt. the lawsuit could shake up the ai landscape, but the core fight is about control and direction. musk left openai's board in 2018, and has since been critical of its shift from a nonprofit to a for-profit structure. altman has stayed on as ceo, pushing the company toward commercial products like chatgpt and its paid tiers. the case is still in early stages, with no trial date set.
