The trial begins April 27 in federal court in Oakland. Elon Musk is the plaintiff. OpenAI Inc., Greg Brockman, Sam Altman, and a roster of board members and investors are the defendants. The formal claims involve fraud, breach of charitable mission, and the unlawful conversion of a nonprofit into a for-profit entity. But the document that sent this case to trial is a diary entry Brockman wrote in 2017, two years before the conversion, reading: “I cannot believe that we committed to non-profit if three months later we’re doing b-corp then it was a lie.”
