Big move in the OpenAI saga—a lawsuit challenging the company's transition from nonprofit to for-profit structure is advancing. Elon Musk's claims? That Sam Altman's operation abandoned its founding mission as a public charity the moment it started hoovering up billions from a major tech corporation and shifted gears to operate as a commercial venture. The courts aren't letting them off the hook easily. This raises some hard questions: Can a nonprofit pivot to profit while claiming the same values? What happens when massive institutional backing rewrites the rulebook? It's a pivotal moment for how we think about AI governance, transparency, and whether early missions actually stick around once the money starts flowing.

Now OpenAI is nailed down, transforming from a charity into a money-grabbing monster in a second. No wonder Elon refuses to let go.

Money turns sour as soon as it arrives; I've seen too many of these Web3 tricks, I'm already numb.

Whenever money comes in, the true nature is revealed. I've seen this trick too many times in Web3. Turning non-profit into profit—if the legal team is strong enough, everything can be justified.

Laozi just says, the trick of turning non-profit into profit, in the end, can't escape the curse of money.

Uh, this thing is really incredible. Turning a non-profit into a for-profit is like eating your own vow.

Honestly, I never thought this would end well from the start... turning a nonprofit into a cash machine, anyone can see through it.

Another big show, nonprofit turns into for-profit, same old trick, as soon as the money is in hand, the mission runs away.

Honestly, this is just ridiculous... Once a nonprofit turns into a for-profit, it's already doomed. Money changes human nature, I've seen this trick too many times. Can Sam turn things around this time? Feels uncertain. It's Elon again and a court case—how long can this hype last? Even GPT's capabilities can't save the charge of "betrayal," right?

This is just ridiculous. Turning a non-profit into a for-profit is like changing faces... Once there's more money, the mission is gone.

Damn, it's the same old trick again. Turning nonprofit into profit is just a scheme. Once the money is in place, the ideals vanish into thin air.
