FLASHBACK: Elon Musk talks about funding OpenAI and it's course change.

Elon Musk: I provided almost all the initial money for OpenAI. Now, they're for-profit and follow a diametrically opposed purpose. “OpenAI is now really trying to maximize profit.
How is it possible that an organization is founded with the goal of being open source, nonprofit – and I provided almost all the money in the beginning, almost $50 million to get it going, and no stock, I have no stock or control or anything – how is it possible to go from there to a company that's now largely worth over $100 billion and seems to be maximizing profit and is not open source?
Let's say you fund a nonprofit to preserve some part of the Amazon rainforest, but instead that nonprofit becomes a lumber company, and chops down the forest and sells it.
I'm considering a legal challenge, perhaps to have the court explain to me how an organization that I funded for one purpose does the diametrically opposed purpose, and becomes a for-profit.
Show me the trail of breadcrumbs.”
