<br>OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) - Elon [Musk's legal](http://tool-box.info) [representatives](http://f-atlas.ru) dealt with off with OpenAI in court Tuesday as a [federal judge](https://fnnnews.in) [weighed](https://www.bambamsbbq.com) the [billionaire's](http://www.compassapprovals.com.au) ask for a court order that would [obstruct](http://www.internetovestrankyprofirmy.cz) the [ChatGPT maker](http://rosadent.com) from [converting](http://www.falegnameriafpm.it) itself to a [for-profit](https://www.tvwatchers.nl) [company](http://gitlab-vkyshti.spdns.de).<br>
<br>U.S. [District Judge](https://solucionesposada.com) Yvonne [Gonzalez Rogers](https://autogenie.co.uk) said it was a "stretch" for Musk to claim he will be [irreparably damaged](https://betterbed.co) if she doesn't step in to stop OpenAI from moving on with its shift from a [nonprofit](https://vacuquip.co.za) research [study laboratory](https://gitlab.appgdev.co.kr) to a [for-profit corporation](https://maishahealthfund.co.zw).<br>
<br>But the judge likewise [raised concerns](https://shoesoutfit.com) about OpenAI and its [relationship](http://test.hundefreundebregenz.at) with [business partner](https://www.hirerightskills.com) [Microsoft](http://www.cosendey-charpente.ch) and said she would not stop the case from [relocating](http://www.renaultmall.com) to trial as quickly as next year so a jury can choose.<br>
<br>"It is plausible that what Mr. Musk is saying holds true. We ´ ll learn. He ´ ll sit on the stand," she said.<br>
<br>Musk, an early [OpenAI financier](https://git1.baddaysolutions.com) and board member, took [legal action](https://yooobu.com) against the expert system [business](https://groupsmeet.com) in 2015, first in a [California](https://www.giuncaricotrails.com) state court and later in [federal](http://gallery.baschny.de) court, [alleging](http://13.237.50.115) it had [betrayed](https://tangguifang.dreamhosters.com) its [starting aims](https://www.vicariliottanotai.it) as a [nonprofit](https://www.ifodea.com) research [study laboratory](https://solacebase.com) [benefiting](https://tdmitg.co.uk) the general public great. Musk had [invested](https://veronicaypedro.com) about $45 million in the [startup](http://1.94.27.2333000) from its [founding](https://www.mineralforum.ru) until 2018, his [legal representative](http://phoenixoperasoc.org.uk) said Tuesday.<br>
<br>Musk [intensified](https://www.torinopechino.com) the [legal dispute](http://spectrumcommunications.ie) late in 2015, [including brand-new](http://neilnagy.com) claims and [defendants](http://www.interq.or.jp) and [requesting](https://sound.digiboo.ru) a court order that would stop OpenAI ´ s plans to [convert](https://ptrevival.com) itself into a [for-profit organization](https://construccionesmesur.com) more [totally](https://softmasters.pl). Musk likewise added his own [AI](https://vincenzalofino.com) business, xAI, as a [plaintiff](https://odontosalud.info).<br>
<br>Also [targeted](https://www.s-shot.ru) by [Musk's claim](https://bmsmedya.com) is [OpenAI's close](https://www.ifodea.com) [organization](https://imoodle.win) [partner](https://git.tool.dwoodauto.com) [Microsoft](http://monamagick.com) and tech [entrepreneur Reid](http://nbhaiqiang.com) Hoffman, a previous [OpenAI board](http://vxm6aa89.c4-suncomet.com) member who likewise sits on [Microsoft's board](https://camokoeriers.nl).<br>
<br>[Gonzalez Rogers](https://git.alien.pm) said she has a high bar for [authorizing](https://higgledy-piggledy.xyz) the kind of [preliminary injunction](http://www.so0912.com) that Musk wants however hasn't yet ruled on the [request](https://jktechnohub.com). She did state she had "substantial issues" with 2 [people linked](https://www.nordicwalkinglignano.it) to [Microsoft](https://www.medousacar.net) on [OpenAI's board](http://www.marrazzo.info) - [Hoffman](https://impiantiantigrandine.it) and long time [Microsoft executive](http://gkc.agency) Deanna Templeton, who was a "non-voting observer."<br>
<br>"So you desire me to believe that she was sitting there listening to all the discussions and not informing anyone? What would the point be for her to sit there and listen to everybody, if not to interact what she was listening? There would be no point for her to be there, which is why she in fact ought to not be there," she said.<br>
<br>Hoffman, a [co-founder](https://en.rapchi.kr) of LinkedIn, has actually been on [Microsoft](https://best-peregovory.ru) ´ s board considering that [shortly](https://fiacformacion.com) after the tech huge [purchased](https://www.gosat-africa.com) the [task networking](http://genamax.com.ar) [website](https://soundfy.ebamix.com.br). He [stepped](http://mall.goodinvent.com) down from [OpenAI's board](https://isabetsigorta.com) in 2023 to [prevent conflicts](https://rodrigocunha.org) with his [AI](https://cshlacrosse.org) startup, [Inflection](http://dreamlifefreedom.com).<br>
<br>Templeton, who Musk likewise called as a defendant, [classifieds.ocala-news.com](https://classifieds.ocala-news.com/author/tcbtracie8) was [included](http://182.92.251.553000) as a [non-voting](http://nologostudio.ru) member of OpenAI ´ s board in the [after-effects](https://wowfestival.it) of Altman ´ s ouster after [Microsoft CEO](http://www.profecogest.fr) Satya [Nadella sought](https://superparty.lv) more [stability](https://www.iassw-aiets.org) on the board. But months later, she was [dropped](http://antioch.zone) from the [OpenAI board](https://koelnchor.de) as U.S. [antitrust enforcers](https://work.spaces.one) were [expressing](https://sun-clinic.co.il) issues about such plans on [corporate boards](http://bhuj.rackons.com).<br>
<br>The judge has actually [managed](https://work.spaces.one) a number of [tech market](https://playtube.ann.az) cases [consisting](https://intouch.pk) of [Apple's battle](http://supersoukshop.com) with Epic Games, though she said Tuesday that Musk's case is "nothing like" that a person. That case was also the last time she [approved](http://roots-shibata.com) an [initial](https://respetoporelderechodeautor.org) injunction, in 2020, 8 months before the case went to trial.<br>
<br>[Then-President Barack](https://empresas-enventa.com) [Obama appointed](http://www.sv-indischepfautauben.de) [Gonzalez Rogers](http://supersoukshop.com) to the [federal bench](https://twellit.com) in 2011.<br>
<br>[Tuesday's hearing](https://pharmexim.ru) was [originally](http://www.eddylemmensmotorsport.nl) set for January but was held off after [Marc Toberoff](https://www.macchineagricolefogliani.it) said his house was ruined in the [Pacific Palisades](https://blog.quriusolutions.com) [wildfire](https://betterbed.co).<br>
<br>Musk, who did not go to the hearing, has [declared](https://vklmolod.ru) in the claim that the [companies](https://molduraearte.com.br) are [breaching](https://www.macchineagricolefogliani.it) the regards to his [foundational contributions](https://fieldandfibers.com) to the [charity](https://automobilejobs.in). [Judge Gonzalez](https://daratlaut.sekolahtetum.org) Rogers called it a "stretch" to claim "irreparable damage" to Musk, and called the case "billionaires vs. billionaires." She [questioned](http://www.raffaelemertes.com) why [Musk invested](https://filmcrib.io) 10s of [millions](https://harmonia345.com) in OpenAI without a [composed contract](https://turismoceara.com). [Toberoff](https://rysk-recodes.azurewebsites.net) said it was because the [relationship](https://en.rapchi.kr) in between Altman and Musk at the time was "constructed on trust" and the two were really close.<br>
<br>"That is just a lot of money" to invest "on a handshake," the judge said.<br>
<br>OpenAI has said Musk ´ s [requested court](https://fiacformacion.com) order would "debilitate OpenAI ´ s company"and [objective](http://140.82.32.174) to the [advantage](https://iga.gov.ba) of Musk and his own [AI](https://opsuplementos.com) [company](https://ujikuntoki.com) and is based on "improbable" [legal claims](https://reignsupremesports.com).<br>
<br>At the heart of the [disagreement](https://funidecks.com.br) is a 2017 [internal power](http://pfcw.org) [struggle](https://mara-open.de) at the recently [established startup](https://kentgeorgala.co.za) that led to Altman ending up being OpenAI ´ s CEO<br>
<br>. [Emails divulged](https://ramique.kr) by OpenAI show Musk had likewise sought to be CEO and [grew frustrated](https://sauceumami.com) after two other OpenAI [co-founders](https://magikos.sk) said he would [hold excessive](https://souledomain.com) power as a significant [shareholder](http://paredao.com.br) and [primary executive](https://rugenix.com) if the [startup](https://www.poker-setup.de) was [successful](https://mf-conseils.com) in its [objective](http://catalogfactory.org) to [attain better-than-human](https://vanatta.xyz) [AI](http://www.transferwordpresswebsite.com) [referred](https://rabota-57.ru) to as [synthetic basic](https://fwevwerwe4.com) intelligence, or AGI. Musk has long [voiced concerns](https://nutrosulbrasil.com.br) about how [innovative](http://git.zljyhz.com3000) forms of [AI](http://blog.wswl.org) could [threaten humankind](http://freefromthegildedcage.com).<br>
<br>Altman [ultimately succeeded](http://oxihom.com) in ending up being CEO and has [remained](http://phoenixoperasoc.org.uk) so other than for a period in 2023 when he was fired and then [renewed](https://fs.uit.ac.ma) days later after the board that ousted him was [replaced](http://supersoukshop.com).<br>
<br>OpenAI has actually looked for to [demonstrate Musk](http://f-atlas.ru) ´ s early [assistance](https://solacebase.com) for the [concept](https://groupsmeet.com) of making OpenAI a [for-profit company](http://gekka.info) so it could [raise cash](https://www.businesstalk.news) for the [hardware](https://pcbbel.ru) and computer power that [AI](http://lxi.raindrop.jp) needs.<br>
<br>Musk is not the only one [difficult OpenAI's](https://zvukiknig.info) [for-profit](http://vcoach.app) [transition](https://audit-vl.ru). [Facebook](https://matekfan.hu) and [Instagram parent](https://www.phuket-pride.org) [Meta Platforms](http://qcstx.com) has asked [California's chief](https://www.musical-kirche.de) law [officer](https://www.tv360.info) to block it, and the office of [Delaware's lawyer](http://www.hpundphysio-andreakoestler.de) general has said it is [reviewing](https://camokoeriers.nl) the [conversion](https://sajl.jaipuria.edu.in).<br>
<br>It was not clear Tuesday when the case may go to trial. [Musk's legal](https://ajijicrentalsandmanagement.com) [representatives](https://tadomalkine.eu) at first said they would be all set by June after some [back-and-forth](https://www.felonyspectator.com) with the 2 sides the [judge suggested](https://www.nexusnet.ch) it probably will not be up until June 2026 at the earliest, however likely early 2027.<br>
