尽管OpenAI决定维持营利上限，并未完全转型为传统营利性公司，但埃隆·马斯克仍将继续对OpenAI提起诉讼。马斯克的律师表示，OpenAI的决定并未改变其为Altman、投资者和微软开发闭源AI的本质。他认为，OpenAI维持非营利组织治理的决定掩盖了关键细节，并批评新的公司结构安排实际上大幅降低了非营利组织在Altman营利性企业中的所有权。马斯克此前曾因OpenAI重组为营利性公司而起诉该公司，指控其违背了最初的利他主义使命承诺，并试图以974亿美元收购OpenAI未果。

Even though OpenAI walked back its decision to convert to a traditional for-profit, Elon Musk is going ahead with his lawsuit against the company.

"Nothing in today’s announcement changes the fact that OpenAI will still be developing closed-source AI for the benefit of Altman, his investors, and Microsoft," said Musk's lawyer Marc Toberoff in a statement to Reuters on Monday. Toberoff said OpenAI's decision to remain governed by a nonprofit entity "obscures critical details about the supposed 'non-profit control' arrangement."

OpenAI plans to transition its for-profit LLC to a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) that will be governed by the overarching nonprofit and will make the nonprofit a shareholder of the PBC. Toberoff described the new arrangement as a "sharply reduced ownership stake the non-profit will receive in Altman’s for-profit enterprise."

The ChatGPT maker's decision last year to restructure as a for-profit company prompted Musk, who was an early funder in OpenAI's nascent days, to sue the company for breach of contract. He alleged the company deceived him by promising the company's mission was entirely altruistic. More recently, Musk unsuccessfully offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion, which OpenAI rejected, calling it a "sham bid," and accusing Musk of trying to take down a competitor. Musk owns xAI, which makes the Grok AI chatbot.

OpenAI's decision to remain a capped for-profit was a major reversal for the company, which is currently valued at $300 billion. In a blog post explaining the announcement, OpenAI's board chairman Bret Taylor said the decision was made "after hearing from civic leaders and engaging in constructive dialogue with the offices of the Attorney General of Delaware and the Attorney General of California." Last month, former OpenAI staffers and leaders of the AI community sent an open letter to California and Delaware attorneys general urging them to stop OpenAI's restructuring, citing societal safety concerns.

OpenAI may have alleviated the signatories' concerns, but Musk's lawsuit is still going forward. "The founding mission remains betrayed," Toberoff told Bloomberg.
