Elon Musk remains committed to his lawsuit against OpenAI, despite recent changes to the company’s restructuring plans. His legal team has confirmed that the case will continue.

At the heart of the dispute is OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model while still retaining control of its nonprofit organisation. This controversial move has drawn criticism from prominent figures in the tech industry, including Meta and noted AI expert Geoffrey Hinton. They have expressed concern about the restructuring and called for greater regulatory oversight.

OpenAI maintains that Musk’s lawsuit is an attempt to deliberately thwart their progress. The legal battle is expected to be lengthy, with a jury trial scheduled for March 2026.
