Full stop.\"\nMeanwhile, OpenAI has called the lawsuit baseless and rooted in competitive motives tied to Musk's own AI company, xAI.\n\"We can’t wait to make our case in court where both the truth and the law are on our side,\" OpenAI said in a statement posted to X, adding that Musk's legal campaign is an effort \"to derail a competitor.\"\nThe company argues Musk was aware of structural discussions before his 2018 departure and says his frustrations were tied partly to control, including reported ambitions to lead OpenAI himself.\nOpening statements are expected on Tuesday, with the case likely to influence not only OpenAI's corporate future but also legal standards surrounding nonprofit-to-for-profit transitions in the rapidly evolving AI sector.\nAt its core, the trial could determine whether OpenAI's transformation was a necessary business evolution — or, as Musk alleges, a historic betrayal of public trust.\nIn March, OpenAI reached an $850 billion valuation while completing a new $10 billion venture capital funding round.\nDisclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.\nPhoto: Frederic Legrand – COMEO on Shutterstock.com\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2630326568","isCrawlerRequest":true}
