May 5 (Reuters) - Elon Musk plans to proceed with his

highly-watched lawsuit against OpenAI, his lawyer Marc Toberoff

said on Monday, hours after the AI startup dialed back its

earlier plan to remove control by its non-profit arm.

Under OpenAI's newly proposed plan, its non-profit parent

would continue to control the for-profit business and become a

major shareholder.

Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, has filed a lawsuit that seeks

to block OpenAI's transition away from nonprofit control, among

other claims. A jury trial had been scheduled for March 2026.
