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.

Don't get mad; convince the courts to divide most of the nonprofit-turned-for-profit company equity amongst the donors-turned-investors, and enjoy your new billions of dollars.

Or just simply...Open the AI. Which they still can. Because everyone is evidently supposed to reap the rewards of this nonprofit -- from the taxpayers/governments affected by supporting nonprofit institutions, to the researchers/employees who helped ClopenAI due to their nonprofit mission, to the folk who donated to this cause (not invested for a return), to the businesses and laypeople across humanity who can build on open tools just as OAI built on theirs, to the authors whose work was hoovered up to make a money printing machine.

The technology was meant for everyone, and $80B to a few benefactors-turned-lotto-winners ain't sufficient recompense. The far simpler, more appropriate payout is literally just doing what they said they would.

This is what I actually support. At this point, though, given how the non-profit effectively acted against its charter, and aggressively so, with impressive maneuvers by some (and inadequate maneuvers by others)... would the organization(s) have to be dissolved, or go through some sort of court-mandated housecleaning?
