(CNN) \u2014\u00a0<\/strong>Elon Musk spent part of Monday posting on his social media platform X about his lawsuit against OpenAI, its CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman, and Musk\u2019s claims in the suit that the ChatGPT maker deceived him and betrayed its original mission.<\/p>\n

\u201cScam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop,\u201d read one of Musk\u2019s missives.<\/p>\n

But it\u2019s not the people on X that Musk and his legal team have to attempt to convince this week \u2013\u00a0it\u2019s the nine jurors chosen on Monday\u00a0to hear Musk\u2019s suit against his AI rival.

OpenAI has consistently pushed back against Musk\u2019s claims and says his suit is one based on jealousy and regret.<\/p>\n

The battle between two of the biggest AI pioneers,\u00a0Musk\u00a0and\u00a0Altman, could shape the future of the emerging, but already wildly influential, technology. OpenAI\u2019s IPO is expected to be a blockbuster, and the money it raises could help it dominate an industry in which it had an early lead. On the other hand, if Musk wins, his own xAI company could set back a major rival and…<\/p>\n
