Musk's legal representatives have declared their unwavering commitment to pursuing legal measures against OpenAI, alleging that the Attorneys General of California and Delaware have neglected their duty to thwart OpenAI's transformation into a for-profit entity. On Tuesday (local time), OpenAI unveiled its decision to transfer a 27% stake to Microsoft and embark on a transition to a public benefit corporation. Since the preceding year, Musk and Altman have been locked in a protracted battle over the trajectory of OpenAI. In 2023, Musk established xAI as a direct competitor to OpenAI. This year, OpenAI spurned Musk's $97.4 billion acquisition bid. Altman has asserted that Musk's legal action is a strategic move to impede his rival's progress, with the case slated for trial in late March of the upcoming year. OpenAI contends that the allegations amount to harassment and that state authorities have not raised objections to the reorganization. Bonta emphasized that the reorganization will not impede the progression of Musk's lawsuit, and Musk's legal team reiterated that OpenAI's reorganization underscores the urgency for the case to proceed to trial, affirming their dedication to defending Musk's rights.
