Tesla shareholders have filed a lawsuit against CEO Elon Musk and the company’s board, accusing them of breaching fiduciary duties by allowing Musk to divert talent and resources to his new AI startup, xAI. The lawsuit, filed in Delaware Chancery Court, alleges that Musk’s actions unjustly enriched him and violated Tesla’s code of business ethics. Shareholders claim that Musk has been using Tesla’s resources, including AI-related data and employees, to benefit xAI, which aims to compete with major tech firms like OpenAI, Microsoft, and Alphabet. The lawsuit comes amid Tesla’s annual meeting, where shareholders are expected to re-ratify Musk’s $56 billion compensation package that was previously nullified by a judge. This legal action highlights the ongoing tension between Musk’s ventures and his obligations to Tesla. Additionally, there are claims that Musk diverted AI processors from Nvidia meant for Tesla to his social media company, X. Shareholders are seeking to force Musk to surrender his stake in xAI to Tesla, emphasizing the board’s failure to protect the company’s interests.
