Elon Musk is taking the stand in his case against Sam Altman and OpenAI.
Elon Musk officially began his testimony in the trial he has brought against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and company president Greg Brockman.
The three were on the initial founding team of OpenAI, with Musk investing up to $38 million early on before the cofounders’ relationship soured over disagreements about company structure and mission, including whether or not OpenAI should be folded into Musk-owned Tesla. Musk walked away and, years later, founded xAI — his own direct competitor to OpenAI, which is now owned by Musk’s SpaceX.
