I have no idea if he has any standing or not, but from your reasoning it doesn't follow that he doesn't. If I put a box with a sign on a street "Donate to such and such charity to save dolphins", and you give me money only to later find out that I have nothing to do with that charity and your money will be spent on my new car, I scammed you, plain and simple, and you can sue me. Was this sign a contract with you? No. Do I become a stakeholder when I donate my money to charity? Obviously not. But it's a scam nevertheless. In fact, you don't even have to be a victim start litigation, but you can claim compensation if you were.

So, once again, I have absolutely zero idea if OpanAI can be held accountable for not following their charter or not, but if they do, anyone can raise a complaint, and since Musk did give them money to save dolphins or whatever, he may actually be considered the victim.

Here it's probably closer to you hanging a "give me money to help me find ways to save the dolphins and I promise I'll write a report on it" sign, someone gives you 10k but they're back a month later to sue you because you're eating pizza with the money while watching Free Willy.

There's a moral argument perhaps...but from a layman's perspective it's a really dumb case. Now, dumb cases sometimes win, so who knows.
