Elon Musk's civil lawsuit against Sam Altman and OpenAI goes to trial with jury selection beginning in Oakland.
Jury selection began Monday in federal court in Oakland, California for Elon Musk's civil lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and co-founder Greg Brockman. Musk alleges that Altman and Brockman betrayed OpenAI's founding nonprofit mission by converting it into a for-profit enterprise after Musk provided roughly $38-44 million in early funding. OpenAI disputes the claims, arguing Musk himself supported a for-profit conversion and left after a failed bid to merge OpenAI with Tesla and assume sole control.
