According to reports, OpenAI's triple protections implemented after switching to a limited-profit structure in 2019 were all rewritten or canceled before Elon Musk's lawsuit trial: the profit cap was changed to be retained until 2025 and realized with common stock, with no upper limit; the AGI trigger clause was changed to be verified by an independent expert panel, with authorization extended to 2032; exclusivity and revenue sharing were changed to cancel exclusivity, with revenue sharing fixed until 2030 and decoupled from technological progress.
