Elon Musk has initiated legal proceedings against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, for allegedly deviating from the startup's foundational goal of contributing to humanity and instead prioritizing profitability. Musk, an initial financier of OpenAI, accuses the firm and its leadership of compromising its mission due to its close ties with Microsoft Corp. He emphasizes that this shift undermines the commitment to open-source technology and its intended widespread benefit.
