Elon Musk is demanding somewhere between $79 billion and $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft. His claim? The two companies allegedly ditched the nonprofit mission and jumped into bed with Microsoft, essentially defrauding early supporters like himself. Bloomberg broke the story, though neither party has officially confirmed it yet. The lawsuit raises questions about whether founding principles matter when venture capital comes knocking, and what happens when tech giants pivot from idealistic roots to commercial partnerships.

Haha, Musk is really going to make a fortune this time, from 7.9 billion to 13.4 billion...
---
Here we go again, every time it's the same idealism poisoned by capital drama
---
Honestly, everyone can see that OpenAI changing from a nonprofit to this is obvious
---
Wait, how is this number calculated? Why does it have to be so much?
---
All promises in front of capital are a joke, I saw it coming a long time ago
---
Not convinced? Then probably there's nothing more to it, just grabbing attention
---
Musk's move is indeed interesting, having been cut by Web3 himself and still talking about morality
---
Founding principles? That thing can only be used for fundraising, once money is involved...
---
Feels like just mutual accusations, let's see the real deal in court

What, Elon Musk is asking for money again? This guy really treats OpenAI like an ATM.

Haha, it's the same old Elon trick again. Honestly, it's just because the money invested back then didn't make enough profit.

Haha, this script is well-written. Talking about 7.9 billion to 13.4 billion as if it's real.

Haha, this is the fate of the Web3 community—idealism meets capital, and it's over.

Here we go again, Musk's legal tactics... Not confirmed if it's true or not, and he's already running around everywhere.

7.9 to 13.4 billion... On-chain data hasn't been updated yet, but based on the contract deployment time, this was a ticking time bomb long ago. As expected
