OpenAI executives including CEO Sam Altman (left) published a blog post containing emails that suggest Elon Musk (right) believed the AI company should have attached itself to Tesla for funding.
  • OpenAI released emails that appear to show Elon Musk agreeing to the company's for-profit shift.
  • The emails could undermine Musk's lawsuit against the AI venture, experts told BI.
  • "I thought he was going to lose before, but, at this point, I don't really see a way he could win," one expert said.

Elon Musk may have thrown the first punch against OpenAI with his lawsuit against the company he helped create.
