The court’s case summary says Musk’s complaint alleges that Sam Altman, Gregory Brockman, OpenAI-related entities, and other defendants fraudulently induced him to help found and fund OpenAI as a nonprofit and then shifted toward a structure he says locked down valuable technology and concentrated benefits with Microsoft and affiliated for-profit entities. That is the court’s summary of allegations, not a finding of liability.
