Elon Musk accused of making up math to squeeze $134B from OpenAI, Microsoft
Summary
Ars Technica reports that Elon Musk is seeking between $79 billion and $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, based on math provided by a new expert, C. Paul Wazzan. OpenAI and Microsoft have moved to exclude his opinions, arguing the calculations are unverifiable and selectively used; the case, which scrutinizes Musk’s contributions and the nonprofit status of OpenAI, heads toward trial with ongoing disputes over methodology and relevance.
