here they explain why they had to betray their core mission. But they don't refute that they did betray it.
Although they don’t spend nearly as much time on it, probably because it’s an entirely intuitive argument without any evidence, is that they could be “open” as in “for the public good” while still making closed models for profit. Aka the ends justify the means.
It’s a shame lawyers seem to think that the lawsuit is a badly argued joke, because I really don’t find that line of reasoning convincing…

its because it is a badly argued joke. The founding charter is just that, a charter not a contract:
> the corporation will seek to open source technology for the public benefit when applicable
There are two massive caveats in that statement. wide enough to drive a stadium through.
Elon is just pissed, and is throwing lawyers at it in the hopes that they will fold (A lot of cases are settled out of court, because its potentially significantly cheaper, and less risky.)
The problem for Musk is that he is fighting with company who also is rich enough to afford good lawyers for a long time.
Also, he'll have to argue that he has materially been hurt by this change, again really hard.
last of all, its a company, founding agreements are not law, and often rarely contracts.
