  1. US Top News and Analysis | Altman details Musk's OpenAI fallout, says nonprofit was 'left for dead'

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in the Musk‑v‑Altman trial, asserting that Elon Musk abandoned rather than stole the nonprofit, leaving OpenAI “kind of left for dead.” Altman explained that Musk, a co‑founder, failed to keep promises about the company’s charitable mission and left the board in 2018 after contentious negotiations over funding and possible for‑profit structures, which later led to the creation of a for‑profit subsidiary now valued at over $850 billion. Altman described Musk’s push for control, including an offer to merge OpenAI with Tesla, as incompatible with the nonprofit’s mission, and recounted personal turmoil during his brief 2023 ouster by the board, which claimed he was not fully candid. The trial centers on whether Musk’s $38 million donation was misused for commercial purposes, with closing arguments slated for Thursday and an advisory jury awaiting deliberation.

  3. The New Republic | Elon Musk Demolishes His Own Case Against OpenAI as He Takes the Stand by Hafiz Rashid

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk’s testimony in the Oakland federal court has unraveled his own lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI, with the tech billionaire repeatedly evading yes‑or‑no questions, claiming memory lapses, and losing his temper while accusing Altman’s counsel of trickery; the judge noted his occasional difficulty, and opposing lawyer William Savitt highlighted contradictions in Musk’s statements—such as his claim of never losing his temper, his admission that a 2016 email warned OpenAI might have been a mistake to remain nonprofit, and his acknowledgment that he never read the 2017 term‑sheet converting OpenAI to a for‑profit entity—culminating in a courtroom outburst that underscored Musk’s ego and left his case looking increasingly untenable.

  4. US Top News and Analysis | OpenAI trial live updates: Musk takes the stand again after heated cross-examination

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    Elon Musk returned to the stand for a third time on Thursday as the OpenAI trial entered its fourth day, facing heated cross‑examination by OpenAI’s lawyer William Savitt. Musk reiterated that he lost trust in Sam Altman by late 2022, citing Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in 2023 as the tipping point that convinced him the company’s for‑profit arm had overtaken its original nonprofit mission, effectively “stealing the charity” he helped seed with $38 million. He argued that a small for‑profit subsidiary could support the nonprofit, but it should not become the “main event.” After Musk’s testimony, his attorneys are expected to call Jared Birchall, the manager of Musk’s family office, and possibly Greg Brockman and Stanford professor Stuart Russell as additional witnesses. The case is overseen by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in federal court in Oakland, California.

  5. US Top News and Analysis | Musk v. Altman heads to court next week. Here's what's at stake

    AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

    The high‑profile lawsuit between Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is set to go to trial in Oakland, California, with jury selection beginning Monday. Musk’s $134 billion suit alleges that OpenAI, Altman and president Greg Brockman broke a promise to keep the AI lab a nonprofit, seeking to unwind the company’s for‑profit restructuring, return “ill‑gotten” gains to the nonprofit, and remove Altman and Brockman from their roles. OpenAI, now valued at over $850 billion after creating a for‑profit subsidiary, calls the case baseless and a “harassment campaign,” while Musk’s attorneys have narrowed the claims to unjust enrichment, fraud, constructive fraud and breach of charitable trust. The trial, presided over by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, will be split into a liability phase—expected to last through mid‑May—and a remedies phase, with a nine‑person jury deciding only on liability. The outcome could impact both Musk’s upcoming SpaceX IPO and OpenAI’s anticipated public offering later this year.
