"Musk's main allegation is that OpenAI and its leaders abandoned the company's original nonprofit mission that he funded. In turn, OpenAI has treated Musk's claims as sour grapes. U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers recently decided that the case warranted going to trial, saying in court that "part of this is about whether a jury believes the people who will testify and whether they are credible.""
"Last week, thousands of pages of evidence from the case were unsealed, including partial 2025 depositions of most of the key players involved, including Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Greg Brockman, Mira Murati, and Satya Nadella, along with ex-board members Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley - both of whom played key roles in the 2023 firing of Altman. Bits and pieces of this evidence have started trickling out in recent days, such as the news that Sutskever owned a whopping $4 billion in vested OpenAI shares when Altman was briefly fired two years ago."
