Draft:Musk v. OpenAI

On February 29, 2024, Elon Musk sued OpenAI, its Chief Executive Sam Altman, and its President Greg Brockman. Musk accuses the company of violating its founding agreement by prioritizing profits over AI safety.

In May 2024, Musk was able to remove the current presiding judge on the case after his lawyers cited California Code of Civil Procedure 170.6, a California state law that allows both plaintiffs and defendants to ask for the removal of a judge that they believe cannot conduct an impartial trial.

On June 11, 2024, Elon Musk dismissed his lawsuit.
