Musk seeks up to $134 bn from OpenAI and Microsoft

Elon Musk is seeking up to $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft, saying he deserves the "wrongful gains" that they received from his early support, according to a court filing on Friday.

OpenAI gained between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion from the billionaire entrepreneur's contributions when he was co-founding what was then a startup from 2015, while Microsoft gained between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion, Musk said in the federal court filing ahead of his trial against the two companies.
