Key point

Elon Musk has requested that any damages from a win in his lawsuit against OpenAI go to the nonprofit arm, and demanded Sam Altman's removal from the board.

Details

The lawsuit Elon Musk filed against OpenAI and Microsoft is set to go to trial later this month in Oakland, California.

Musk amended the lawsuit to request that any damages he is awarded if he wins be sent not to himself but to OpenAI's nonprofit arm. The amendment also includes a demand that Sam Altman, OpenAI's CEO, be removed from the nonprofit board.

Musk claims that OpenAI deceived him, a donor, as it moved away from its nonprofit mission and transitioned into a for-profit company, and is seeking damages totaling more than $150 billion.
