Elon Musk is taking legal action against OpenAI and two of its founders, Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, renewing claims that the ChatGPT-maker betrayed its founding aims of benefiting the public good rather than pursuing profits.

The complaint, filed in a Northern California federal court, called Mr Musk’s case a “textbook tale of altruism versus greed”.
