Elon Musk is seeking $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft in court, claiming the companies made massive profits from his early backing of the AI startup. Musk estimates OpenAI gained between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion, while Microsoft gained between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion. Musk says he is entitled to a share of those gains due to his contributions as a co-founder and investor. The case will go to a jury trial in April.
