"Altman explained that he snapped after losing control of OpenAI, where he's currently CEO of both the for-profit and nonprofit. He claimed that he seriously entertained walking away from OpenAI forever and taking Microsoft's offer to instead spearhead an AI research wing of the tech giant, where he could get rich."
"Musk-who filed the lawsuit alleging that OpenAI under its current leadership has abandoned its nonprofit mission to build AI that benefits humanity and instead serves to enrich people like Altman- spent three grueling days on the stand. At times, he lost his temper, as OpenAI's lawyer, William Savitt, tried to poke holes in Musk's claims that OpenAI executives teamed up with Microsoft to "steal a charity" after duping Musk into donating $38 million in early funding."

Elon Musk and Sam Altman testified in a trial that will determine OpenAI’s future leadership, research funding, and profit structure. Musk alleged OpenAI under current leadership abandoned its nonprofit mission and instead enriches people like Altman, including through a partnership with Microsoft. Musk spent three days on the stand and at times lost his temper while responding to claims about early funding and alleged collaboration. Altman testified for about four hours, initially jittery but then calm, presenting evidence he hopes undermines Musk’s claims about a for-profit restructuring. Altman said he was extremely angry and felt misled after the board temporarily ousted him as CEO in 2023, and he considered leaving OpenAI permanently for a Microsoft role.
