Billionaire Elon Musk Enters Courtroom Showdown With OpenAI

(FILES) Elon Musk arrives at federal court on March 4, 2026 in San Francisco, California, during his trial in a civil case for allegedly manipulating Twitter’s stock price prior to his purchase of the company in 2022. A federal jury in California found on March 20, 2026 that tech tycoon Elon Musk misled Twitter shareholders, driving down the company’s share price as he was poised to buy it in a $44 billion deal. The verdict in the class action securities lawsuit means the world’s richest person could be ordered to pay billions of dollars, according to damages calculated by jurors.

Jury selection is to begin Monday in a high-profile legal battle between billionaire Elon Musk and artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, which he accuses of betraying its non-profit mission.

The clash in a courtroom across the bay from San Francisco pits the world’s richest man against a startup that Musk once backed and now competes against in the booming AI sector.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT is a formidable rival to the Grok chatbot made by Musk’s xAI lab.

While the lawsuit filed by Musk is part of a feud between him and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, it spotlights a debate whether AI should ultimately benefit the privileged few or society as a whole.
