Key claims in source B
- In a January filing, Musk's attorneys said he should receive up to $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, one of OpenAI's longtime backers, which is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.

- Should he succeed, Musk said, he wants the court to return all "ill-gotten gains" to OpenAI's nonprofit, not to him personally.
- Musk's lawyers are seeking to dismiss two of the claims, fraud and constructive fraud, ahead of the trial in an effort to "streamline the case," according to a filing.
