Elon Musk has made a bold public statement amid his escalating legal dispute with Sam Altman, insisting that he will donate any proceeds from the case to charity if he emerges victorious. The Tesla and SpaceX chief is currently seeking damages that could reach as much as $134 billion (£105.5 billion) in his lawsuit against OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company he co-founded.
By pledging to give away any awarded money, he has attempted to frame the lawsuit as a matter of principle rather than personal gain. The case, which centres on the direction and governance of AI development, is rapidly becoming one of the most closely watched legal battles in the technology sector.
