OpenAI urges California, Delaware to investigate Musk's 'anti-competitive behavior’

OpenAI asked the California and Delaware attorneys general to investigate Elon Musk and his associates for “improper and anti-competitive behavior” ahead of a trial between the parties expected to begin in April 2026. The dispute stems from a 2024 lawsuit filed by Musk alleging OpenAI strayed from its founding mission; filings indicate the suit seeks more than $100 billion in damages from OpenAI’s nonprofit foundation. OpenAI said the suit could cripple its nonprofit arm and undermine efforts to develop AGI for broad benefit. The article is legal-focused and does not report immediate market moves for Musk’s public holdings, but heightened litigation risk could indirectly affect market perception of Musk-linked assets.
