The California attorney general’s office declined to join Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI, stating it didn’t serve the public interest. Musk, in a legal battle with co-founder Sam Altman, claims OpenAI’s shift from a nonprofit mission toward profit-driven goals is harmful. Despite declining to join, the state must still review OpenAI’s nonprofit restructuring. Musk’s $97 billion offer and the launch of his AI firm, xAI, have raised concerns about personal motives. A jury trial is scheduled for next spring. OpenAI maintains its changes are essential for future fundraising and mission growth.
