Elon Musk faces long court battle over feud with OpenAI CEO Sam Altman

Elon Musk’s move to immediately block Sam Altman from restructuring OpenAI faltered in federal court, with a judge saying she was reluctant to issue such an order in a case pitting “billionaires versus billionaires.”

The world’s richest person presented his request in filings as an emergency, telling the court the startup he helped found a decade ago needs to be stopped from carrying out what he’s described as a quest by Altman and Microsoft Corp. to dominate the generative artificial intelligence industry.
