On Monday, August 5, Eastern Time, a court document showed that Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, re-filed a lawsuit against OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman in a federal court in Northern California. Musk claimed that he was misled to participate in the creation of OpenAI, which originally promised to operate as a non-profit organization, focusing on the safety and openness of artificial intelligence for the benefit of mankind.

The lawsuit documents revealed that Musk believed he was deceived by Altman and OpenAI's president Greg Brockman. They assured Musk that OpenAI would remain neutral and prioritize human welfare rather than pursue shareholder value. However, after investing millions of dollars, Musk discovered that Altman and his team worked with Microsoft to create a series of opaque for-profit subsidiaries and were suspected of self-dealing.

The lawsuit states: "The non-profit nature and neutrality that Altman assured Musk was actually a hollow charity show and a bait for Altman's long-term fraud." Musk felt betrayed and expressed his strong dissatisfaction with this betrayal and deception in the lawsuit.

The claims made in the new lawsuit are similar to another lawsuit Musk filed this year in California against OpenAI and Altman, which Musk ultimately dropped.

Although Musk has expressed affection for Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, the lawsuit states that Microsoft and OpenAI do not share the same values. Microsoft, as OpenAI's largest investor, has reportedly invested $13 billion in the company and has systematically increased its influence in OpenAI over the next few years.

Musk has previously expressed concerns about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence and has publicly discussed the issue on multiple occasions.
