Updated Tue, Feb 24 2026 2:16 PM EST Tesla sues California DMV to reverse ruling that company engaged in false advertising on FSD In his case against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Musk is looking to recover as much as $134 billion from the nonprofit OpenAI Foundation, which holds over $100 billion in equity in the for-profit AI lab, according to a January legal filing. Musk cofounded OpenAI in 2015 along with several others, including LinkedIn founder and Microsoft board member Reid Hoffman. Musk has been critical of Microsoft on his social network X and said earlier this month that the company "has a responsibility to investigate" Hoffman's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Hoffman said that he deeply regretted that he knew Epstein through a fundraising relationship with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Earlier this month, Musk said SpaceX was merging with his xAI startup that developed the Grok AI model and chatbot that has been gaining traction as a platform of choice for tech applications. Last year, Microsoft said its Foundry cloud software for building AI-infused applications added support for Grok models. Microsoft has been working to connect people with technology for many years, including in the U.S. After setting a goal in 2022 to bring the internet to over 250 million people before the end of 2025, it has extended coverage to more than 299 million people, Nakagawa wrote Tuesday.
