US EditionElon Musk to go ahead with lawsuit against OpenAI despite nonprofit control statement, lawyer says
- Elon Musk confirmed on May 6, 2025, that he will continue his lawsuit against OpenAI over its control and restructuring plans.
- Musk's legal action follows OpenAI’s rollback of a prior plan to remove non-profit control and shift fully to a for-profit model, which Musk challenges as misleading.
- OpenAI now plans to keep its non-profit parent as the controlling shareholder of a new Public Benefit Corporation, drawing criticism from Musk, Meta, and AI expert Geoffrey Hinton for opacity and ownership concerns.

- The lawsuit, described by OpenAI as a bad-faith attempt to delay their work, has a jury trial set for March 2026 and signals a prolonged dispute over AI governance and business models.
