In this e-mail chain, Musk is threatening to leave because Sam won't commit to staying opensource/non-profit. Sam wants to switch to being for profit. Musk says he'll leave if they do that, OpenAI will die, and they can start a new for profit company. Musk did leave and Ilya/Greg convinced Sam to stay the course as a non-profit for a while, though they had to cozy up to MS and Oracle for funding. But now they abandoned the non-profit aspect entirely. The point is that it seems clear that they were to create a new company if they wanted to make a for profit company... they did not do that. This is why Musk is suing them.
