This is not a for-profit company. The shareholders don't get any of the money that OpenAI makes by law, so its purpose is not to make a profit.

So Musk's arguing that they had duty to protect his investment in OpenAI from being used for profiteering, and they didn't do that.

How's that going to float in an industry whose philosophy is that profit is a very useful abstraction for social benefit?

That philosophy doesn't really exist in legal terms when you have a for-profit corporation. There are B-corporations (eg Anthropic) which try to balance those goals, but I'm not sure there's a ton of existing law around that.
