How much money have competitors been spending to keep up, reproducing the technology that was supposed to be released to the public benefiting everyone. All of that could conceivably be claimed as damages. Money they should not have needed to spend.
Even all of the money spent to access ChatGPT. Because, if OpenAI had been releasing their tech to the public, the public would not have had to pay OpenAI to use it.
Or the value of OpenAI-for-profit itself could be considered damages in a class action. Because it gained that value because of technology withheld from the public, rather than releasing it and allowing the public to build the for-profit businesses around the tech.
Lots of avenues for Musk and others' lawyers to get their teeth into, especially if this initial law suit can demonstrate the fraud.
