OpenAI's bracing investors for what's coming—expect "outlandish claims" as the April trial against Elon Musk heats up. The lawsuit is pretty bold: Elon's arguing that OpenAI transformed from a nonprofit focused on humanity's future into a $500B for-profit cash machine. It's a stark narrative—the idealistic mission versus the business reality. OpenAI's essentially telling investors to take these accusations with a grain of salt, but the core tension is real: how a nonprofit pivoted to a commercial powerhouse.

Another big show, Elon vs OpenAI, $500B 's cash machine vs idealism, hilarious... The non-profit organization ended up becoming a money-making pond, this script is a bit ruthless.

Here we go again, a non-profit cash machine, old tricks brother --- Elon really made a big move this time, who wouldn't be envious of a $500 billion deal --- Basically, it's a story of shattered ideals, all too common --- In the face of the $500B temptation, principles have to be set aside --- See the truth in court, let's see how "bizarre" the charges are when the time comes --- From non-profit to business empire, that turnaround was pretty quick --- Investors, listen to these charges, you might start to get nervous

A non-profit organization with 50 billion USD, listen to this, it's just outrageous... Idealism meets capitalism like this.

Haha Elon, this move is really a slap in the face. Where was the promised salvation of humanity? Now he's just thinking about how to cut the leeks. --- A 500B cash machine, that’s too straightforward... Investors probably know it too well. --- Waiting for the April trial, I bet this will be the biggest scandal of the year. How will OpenAI dodge responsibility this time? --- Basically, it's the inevitable outcome when idealism meets capitalism. Who would have thought?🤷 --- A non-profit organization turning into a cash machine—this routine is truly brilliant... Learned something new. --- Strange accusations? I don’t find them strange, just outrageous😅 --- It's hard to hold on. The once idealistic youth now just want to make money. This script is so common. --- So Elon is now helping us reveal the truth? This twist is quite interesting. --- $500B... I just want to know where this money went, the details. --- Is OpenAI doing public relations or are they really scared? This move looks a bit panicked.

ngl this thing is just ridiculous, it took so long for the nonprofit's cover to be blown, it should have come out earlier
