OpenAI has formally requested that the attorneys general of California and Delaware launch investigations into Elon Musk's maneuvers aimed at obstructing its transformation into a for-profit entity, citing potential "unfair and anticompetitive behavior." OpenAI's Chief Strategy Officer, Jason Kwon, emphasized that Musk has persistently endeavored to seize control of the nonprofit organization for his own benefit and to steer the future course of artificial intelligence development.

In the coming weeks, Musk is set to face off against OpenAI and Microsoft in court. He accuses OpenAI of straying from its original founding principles and is seeking damages that could amount to as much as $134 billion. Kwon further asserted that this legal action could jeopardize the agreements forged between OpenAI and the two states, potentially impacting the sustainability of companies within the industry that are bound by the October agreement.

Upon announcing its restructuring plans, OpenAI transferred a 27% ownership stake to Microsoft. Following a review, the attorneys general from both states raised no objections to OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, and OpenAI has made pertinent commitments accordingly. At present, the office of Attorney General Rob Bonta is in the process of reviewing the relevant correspondence. Meanwhile, representatives for Attorney General Kathleen Jennings and Musk's legal team have not yet responded to requests for comment.
