Elon Musk is demanding ChatGPT-maker OpenAI and Microsoft to pay up to $134 billion claiming that the AI company defrauded him by diverting from its non-profit roots. According to a report by Bloomberg, Musk has filed a ‘damages request’ in court on Friday, January 16, 2026. The move comes a day after a federal judge rejected a final bid by OpenAI and Microsoft to avoid a jury trial set for late April in Oakland, California.
