Blow for Sam Altman: Over a dozen former employees of ChatGPT maker OpenAI come out in support of Elon Musk

Elon Musk just secured a small win in his legal fight against ChatGPT maker OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman. Just a day after OpenAI sued Elon Musk, claiming of harassment; a dozen former employees of OpenAI are reportedly challenging the artificial intelligence (AI) startup’s plan to reorganize as a for-profit entity, aligning themselves with Elon Musk’s legal battle against the move. According to a court filing obtained by Bloomberg, the group of data scientists and technicians, who worked at OpenAI between 2018 and 2024, argued for maintaining the nonprofit arm’s controlling stake in the company. They contend that altering the corporate structure to diminish the nonprofit’s control would fundamentally violate OpenAI’s original mission.
