Elon Musk accused OpenAI's lawyer of asking trick questions during combative testimony in his lawsuit against the AI firm and its co-founders. Musk alleges OpenAI betrayed its original non-profit mission by shifting to a for-profit model. OpenAI claims the lawsuit is motivated by Musk's jealousy and his attempt to derail a competitor through xAI. The case, expected to last several weeks, centers on claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment.
Elon Musk continued his testimony in the Oakland federal court trial against OpenAI, repeatedly accusing Sam Altman and Greg Brockman of stealing a charity by shifting the company from non-profit to for-profit structure. Musk is seeking $134bn in damages, removal of Altman and Brockman, and reversal of OpenAI's corporate restructuring. OpenAI rejects the claims as jealousy-motivated, stating Musk was aware of for-profit plans and his $38m contribution was a tax-deductible donation, not an investment. The trial, expected to last three weeks, pits two powerful tech figures against each other and could impact OpenAI's planned $1tn IPO.
