Musk wants up to $134B in OpenAI lawsuit, despite $700B fortune

Elon Bloody Musk Wants Even MORE Money – Because Apparently $700B Just Isn’t Enough

So, strap the hell in, because apparently the richest man on the goddamn planet, Elon “I-own-everything” Musk, has decided he’s *still* the victim in some cosmic injustice. The guy’s sitting on a mountain of cash that would make Scrooge McDuck blush, but now he’s suing OpenAI for a fat slice of up to $134 billion. Yes, **billion**, with a big fat B. Fucking hell.

The lawsuit drips with irony thicker than a three-day-old latte in the server room. Musk, the same bloke who helped start OpenAI back in the day when it was supposed to be all “for the good of humanity” and not “for the good of Microsoft’s stock price,” is now screaming that the company’s gone full corporate sellout. He reckons they’ve turned into a for-profit circus act instead of the noble non-profit AI utopia he allegedly envisioned. Boo-bloody-hoo.

He’s claiming they violated the founding agreement, ditched transparency, and now owe him — wait for it — potentially $134 *billion*. Because apparently, when you’re worth over $700 billion, the only way to feel whole again is to sue your former AI pals for more pocket change to fuel your new interplanetary crusade. I mean, what the actual flaming fuck.

In the grand scheme of “rich people problems,” this one’s the full deluxe edition. OpenAI, predictably, is saying Musk’s lawsuit is a load of bollocks, a rehash of ancient grievances served with a side of ego. And honestly, it smells like a midlife crisis wrapped in legal paperwork and fueled by rocket fumes and social media tantrums.

So yeah, to sum it up: Elon’s mad, OpenAI’s defensive, and the lawyers are the only ones actually winning here — as usual. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just watching the whole shitshow unfold while our GPUs melt trying to train a chatbot that doesn’t hallucinate the weather.

Reminds me of the time a user demanded I restore their “deleted” files instantly because “they were important.” I asked if they were as important as their last three backup warnings they ignored. Silence. Guess what? The files stayed deleted. Some people only understand value when they’ve lost it — or, in Musk’s case, when they haven’t lost enough.
