Elon Musk is facing a legal challenge over the way damages were calculated in his investment dispute with OpenAI. A financial economist, Dr. Wazzan, was hired to determine how much Musk should receive after contributing $38 million, roughly 60 percent of OpenAI's seed funding. Musk’s filing claims Wazzan considered non‑monetary contributions such as recruiting staff and lending prestige. Microsoft, a major partner of OpenAI, argues that Wazzan’s math improperly doubled the value of the nonprofit arm, inflating Musk’s claim. The controversy centers on whether the calculations follow standard contractual and economic principles. Leer más →
