Elon Musk Testifies In OpenAI Lawsuit
A lawsuit alleges that Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and OpenAI intentionally misled a stakeholder during the company's transition to a for-profit enterprise. Musk claims he was deceived into donating millions of dollars to the ChatGPT creator under the belief it would remain a nonprofit organization. Elon Musk has referred to Sam Altman as a scam, marking a shift from his previous status as Altman's idol. Security details for various billionaires were present at the trial location. The proceedings took place in a building where multiple high-profile individuals were gathered for the trial. Musk stated he contributed $38 million over several years to the organization when it operated as a non-profit charity. He alleges that OpenAI has since stolen the original charitable mission by opening a commercial arm in 2018.
