Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, which challenges the company's transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit model, is moving closer to trial. A federal judge in California indicated that Musk's claims of irreparable harm are a 'stretch,' yet parts of the lawsuit may proceed. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers stated that she is unlikely to grant Musk's request to block OpenAI's restructuring plans, emphasizing that 'something is going to trial in this case.' Musk is expected to testify, and a jury will determine the outcome. The legal battle highlights the ongoing tensions between Musk and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, raising critical questions about corporate governance and accountability in the tech industry.
