- Elon Musk testified in a high-stakes trial in Oakland, California, against Sam Altman, Greg Brockman, and Microsoft over OpenAI's direction, seeking damages and Altman's removal from the board.
- Musk accuses Altman and Brockman of betraying OpenAI's founding mission as a non-profit dedicated to the safe, open development of artificial intelligence for humanity's benefit.
- OpenAI's lawyer, William Savitt, countered that Musk's lawsuit stems from “sour grapes” because he failed to gain control of the company and merge it with Tesla.
- Musk recounted his version of OpenAI's founding, emphasizing the initial goal to create a counterbalance to profit-driven AI development by companies like Google.
- The civil lawsuit, which began with jury selection on Monday, is scheduled to last three weeks, with Altman and Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also expected to testify.
