Musk is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for up to $134 billion, alleging they "illicitly profited."

PANews reported on January 18 that, according to Sina Finance, Elon Musk filed a lawsuit with the court on Friday, seeking up to $134 billion in damages from artificial intelligence startup OpenAI and its shareholder Microsoft , arguing that he should receive "unjust enrichment" for his early support of the company.

According to documents filed by Musk, he invested approximately $38 million, representing 60% of OpenAI's initial seed funding. He also assisted in recruiting employees, helped the founders connect with key figures, and added credibility to the project in its early stages. Musk stated in the documents, "Just as someone who invests early in a startup can reap returns several orders of magnitude higher than their initial investment, the improper gains that OpenAI and Microsoft have received (and Musk is now entitled to reclaim) far exceed his initial investment."
