He isn't asking for money tho? He is suing because he believes he was promised that it would be a not for profit forever.

But they have emails from one Elon Musk telling them to structure it roughly how it turned out.

They also have emails including Musk where the profit share is discussed, and his "investment" is talked about as roughly a donation.

Like he could have asked for a profit share at any point and it just doesn't seem to happen?

If the outcome is unfair to Musk, its because Musk worked tirelessly to ensure he had no legal standing with which to make it fair to Musk.
