it sounds like small amount in grand scheme of things..

>>riku_i+(OP)
Unless you consider it as funding in a seed round. These days, OpenAI is worth double digit billions at the very least. If Musk funded the venture as a startup, he’d have increased his net worth by at least a few billion.

>>bitcur+so
it was not his intention to spend these money on funding some startup with expectation of future profit, otherwise he would invest this money into some startup instead of non-profit OpenAI, or even requested OpenAI equity. Imo(non-expert) court unlikely will buy such approach.
