In the wake of Elon Musk’s legal action against OpenAI and its CEO, Sam Altman, Worldcoin (WLD) has witnessed a notable 5% drop in value within the past 24 hours. The lawsuit, filed by Musk in San Francisco, alleges breaches of contractual agreements dating back to 2015.

Musk, the visionary entrepreneur behind Tesla and SpaceX, was a co-founder of OpenAI in 2015 but later resigned from its board in 2018.

The lawsuit also alleged that Altman, together with OpenAI’s co-founder Greg Brockman, initially approached Musk with the intention of establishing a non-profit, open-source company aimed at advancing artificial intelligence technology for the betterment of humanity.
Musk’s lawyers argued in the lawsuit that the company, supported by Microsoft, deviated to prioritize profit contradicting this agreement.
