After reading the report on the OpenAI lawsuit, it indeed reshaped many people's understanding of "integrity."



Musk's actions are quite bold—back in 2015, as a co-founder of OpenAI, he invested $38 million (accounting for 60% of seed funding), and was responsible for team recruitment, resource coordination, and brand endorsement. Fast forward to today, OpenAI's shift to a profit-oriented model contradicts its original mission. He is demanding OpenAI pay $6.55-10.94 billion in damages, with Microsoft paying $1.33-2.51 billion, totaling up to $13.4 billion.

The case was filed in court on January 17, with a trial expected in April, ultimately to be decided by a jury. Musk's logic is clear: without his groundwork and endorsement, there would be no OpenAI today, nor the AI strategic partnership with Microsoft. Now both companies are making huge profits, and he is demanding a share of the benefits.

OpenAI and Microsoft's responses are also straightforward—they consider this baseless harassment, and even accuse experts' financial calculations of being "fabricated."

Essentially, this is a clash between original intent and利益. Founders want to reclaim their rights, while business partners aim to protect profits. The courtroom showdown is about to begin, and the outcome will depend on the jury's judgment. What do you think about the outcome of this lawsuit?

13.4 billion, this number is purely outrageous. Dude, is this extortion or are you really doing the math?

Haha, Musk's move is really ruthless. He's directly pulling out 13.4 billion. That must be so frustrating.

Elon Musk's move, to put it simply, is just regret and wanting to revisit old issues. How could he possibly win? The court isn't his Twitter; fabricating a number and just accepting it, haha. If this logic were to hold, the startup world would be in chaos.

13.4 billion, Musk played his hand too aggressively, but to be honest, OpenAI has indeed betrayed its original intention.
