Wouldn't you have to prove damages in a lawsuit like this? What damages does Musk personally suffer if OpenAI has in fact broken their contract?

A non-profit took his money and decided to be for profit and compete with the AI efforts of his own companies?

Yeah, OpenAI basically grafted a for-profit entity onto the non-profit to bypass their entire mission. They’re now extremely closed AI, and are valued at $80+ billion.

If I donated millions to them, I’d be furious.

It's almost like the guy behind an obvious grift like Worldcoin doesn't always work in good faith.

What gives me even less sympathy for Altman is that he took OpenAI, whose mission was open AI, and turned it not only closed but then immediately started a world tour trying to weaponize fear-mongering to convince governments to effectively outlaw actually open AI.

I have no specific sympathy for Altman one way or the other, but:

Why is Worldcoin a grift?

And I believe his argument for it not being open is safety.

"I declare safety!"

You cannot abandon your non-profit's entire mission on a highly hypothetical, controversial pretext. Moreover, they've released virtually no harmless details on GPT-4, yet let anyone use GPT-4 (such safety!), and haven't even released GPT-3, a model with far fewer capabilities than many open-source alternatives. (None of which have ended the world! What a surprise!)

They plainly wish to make a private cash cow atop non-profit donations to an open cause. They hit upon wild success, and want to keep it for themselves; this is precisely the opposite of their mission. It's morally, and hopefully legally, unacceptable.
