April 28 (UPI) -- The trial is underway in California on Tuesday over OpenAI's status as a for-profit company as Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company faces a nine-person jury.
Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, is suing its CEO Sam Altman and president, Greg Brockman, for allegedly reversing course on keeping the company nonprofit. Musk seeks to have the company return to its nonprofit status, remove Altman and Brockman and receive $134 billion to be put back into OpenAI's nonprofit foundation.
OpenAI is set to go public, potentially later this year.
Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015, with an investment of about $44 million in its early years, he says. He left OpenAI in 2018, later creating his own AI company xAI.
