Elon Musk testifies on first day of trial against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman
Elon Musk took the stand on Tuesday in federal court in Oakland, California, as the first witness in his lawsuit against OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and president Greg Brockman. Musk accuses the defendants of betraying OpenAI's original nonprofit mission by converting the company into a for-profit entity, and is seeking damages and structural remedies including removal of Altman and Brockman. OpenAI's attorneys argued Musk's lawsuit is motivated by competitive jealousy, saying he now runs a direct AI competitor through xAI.
