(Photo: Reuters)Elon Musk is seeking ‍up to $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing he deserves the “wrongful gains” that they received ‌from his early support of ​the artificial-intelligence startup, according to a court filing. OpenAI gained between $65.5 billion and $109.4 billion from the billionaire entrepreneur’s contributions when he was co-founding OpenAI from 2015, while Microsoft gained between $13.3 billion and $25.1 billion, Musk said in ‌the federal court filing on Friday ahead of his trial against the two companies. OpenAI, Microsoft and Musk’s lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for ‌comments outside business hours. OpenAI has called the lawsuit “baseless” and part of a “harassment” campaign by Musk. The ⁠filing says Musk’s contributions to OpenAI and Microsoft were calculated ​by his expert witness, financial economist Paul Wazzan.
