Court rejects Elon Musk’s attempt to prevent OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model

A federal judge in California, citing insufficient evidence for legal action, rejected an attempt by tech billionaire Elon Musk to prevent OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model.

Highlighting the potential harm and public interest, Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers offered to expedite the trial in order to allay worries regarding OpenAI’s transition.

Musk said that OpenAI’s conversion may cause market instability and deter investment in competitors, which is why he filed the injunction to keep the company nonprofit.
