Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur, has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman. Musk, who played a significant role in the establishment of the artificial intelligence startup in 2015, claims that the company, supported by Microsoft, has deviated from its original purpose. The lawsuit contends that OpenAI’s pursuit of profits contradicts the initial agreement made with the founding team, which aimed to prioritize the development of AI for the betterment of humanity.

The suit states that despite establishing themselves as an entirely nonprofit entity, the two men and the other founders “were able to secure billions of dollars in investment from Microsoft and convert the organization into a for-profit corporation.” The legal action claims that the change to a profit-driven company violates a 2015 certificate of incorporation that the founding group established with Delaware. It also alleges that the for-profit arrangement puts the tech giant in a position to veto any decision made by the nonprofit board.

In a blog post, OpenAI rebuffed the lawsuit. The statement cites emails that indicate Musk supported the lab’s becoming for-profit. It also points out that he supported the move to an observer seat on the board for Microsoft, one of the firm’s biggest investors.

The lawsuit, filed in California Superior Court, claims that the two men conspired to oust the board members responsible for enforcing the nonprofit’s original mission.nonprofites them of “engineering a board coup” during a tumultuous leadership crisis last year that saw Altman briefly fired from his position as CEO and later reinstated with Microsoft’s help.

As part of his legal action, Musk argues that he has been barred from donating funds to the company and wants to ensure that the for-profit entity abides by its original founding agreement. He wants the court to require that Altman give up all the money he has received from the alleged violation and force OpenAI to return to its original mission of developing AGI for the benefit of humans, not “for the financial gain of Mr. Altman and Defendants.”

A new logo was launched with the blog post, which features a font called ColfaxAI. The typeface specified in the company’s website CSS appears to be a custom-drawn weight of the Process Type Foundry font Colfax. I can’t tell for sure, but I suspect the designers drew this custom weight because Colfax proper only comes in Regular and Book, leaving an overly thin lightweight and an overly thick Medium weight to work with.
