During the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial, Jared Birchall, Musk's finance chief, testified about the xAI-led $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI's nonprofit assets made in February 2025. Birchall claimed Sam Altman was "on both sides of the table" during negotiations, attempting to discount nonprofit assets. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers directly questioned Birchall, expressing skepticism about his lack of recollection regarding conversations about a $97.5 billion deal.
