To beat Altman in court, Musk offers to give all damages to OpenAI nonprofit

On Tuesday, Elon Musk amended his lawsuit that accuses OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, of abandoning its mission, clarifying that any ill-gotten gains recovered should be returned to the AI firm's charitable nonprofit arm, not to Musk.
Musk "is not seeking a single dollar for himself," according to his lawyer, Marc Toberoff.
Musk won’t seek a “single dollar” in OpenAI suit after asking to pocket up to $134 billion.
“He is asking the court to return everything that was taken from a public charity—and to make sure the people responsible are never in a position to do this again,” Toberoff told the WSJ. “That was the essence of his complaint from the outset of this case, until OpenAI’s spin doctors got to work distorting it. This filing sets the record straight.”
However, Musk’s pivot comes after US District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers issued an order that risked severely limiting the remedies Musk could seek in the lawsuit if he didn’t change his strategy.
