Tech billionaire Elon Musk is seeking upwards of $134 billion (€115.4 billion) from OpenAI and Microsoft, arguing that he is owed "wrongful gains."

Court papers were filed at a California court on Friday and cited an expert valuation of what Musk was entitled to.

In his lawsuit, Musk makes the allegation that OpenAI — which he co-founded in 2015 — has abandoned its original purpose as a non-profit organization committed to ensuring that artificial intelligence research benefited humanity.

Musk argues that the company now mainly serves the interests of Microsoft.
