In what capacity is Musk suing OpenAI? Musk may have co-founded the company, but then he left (to avoid any potential future conflict of interest with his role as CEO of Tesla, as Tesla was increasingly becoming an AI-intensive company). Is he a shareholder, if not what gives him any say in the future of the company?

He's a donor to the OpenAi non-profit organization.

A donor usually is only able to say how his donation will be used. For example, if you donate to Harvard University, you can say the money will be earmarked for scholarships, but you don't get a say on how the university is managed. You can at best say you will no longer donate based on how the university is managed.

I certainly hope "turning the non-profit into an LLC" is slightly different legally.

If not, I certainly hope the courts establish a clear precedent so that The Red Cross can do an IPO. Or even better, the state SPCAs. "Our unique value proposition is that we can take anyone's dog away."
