Altman and Musk have been at loggerheads for years.
After Musk’s departure in 2019, OpenAI created a for-profit arm that has drawn billions of dollars in funding, sparking allegations from Musk that the startup breached its original mission by putting profit ahead of the larger public good.
Musk sued Altman, OpenAI, and its biggest backer Microsoft in August last year for the alleged breach of contract.
In November, Musk asked a US district judge for a preliminary injunction to block OpenAI from moving to a for-profit structure.
