Musk Seeks Ouster of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman as Trial Looms (1)

Elon Musk is seeking to have OpenAI Chief Executive Officer and board member Sam Altman removed from his roles at the artificial intelligence startup as part of the billionaire’s legal challenge to the ChatGPT maker’s conversion to a for-profit company.

Musk said in a Tuesday court filing that the goal of his lawsuit is to “unwind OpenAI’s for-profit conversation and restructuring,” which he said would involve removing Altman and President Greg Brockman from their leadership positions. He is also seeking a court order restoring the firm’s status as a nonprofit research organization.
