In OpenAI trial, former technology chief says Altman sowed 'chaos,' distrust among top executives
After fraud claims were dismissed, the jury is weighing whether OpenAI and its co-founders breached promises tied to Musk’s early funding.
- Elon Musk's trial against OpenAI entered its liability phase in Oakland federal court on Tuesday, with the tech mogul seeking up to $150 billion in damages from OpenAI, CEO Sam Altman, and President Greg Brockman.
- Musk alleges Altman and Brockman broke their promise to keep OpenAI a charity, claiming they "looted" the nonprofit's assets by spinning up a for-profit subsidiary that absorbed the organization's resources.
- OpenAI counsel William Savitt argued Musk supported the for-profit restructuring and only sued after founders refused to "turn the keys of artificial intelligence over to one person." This timing defense challenges Musk's motivations.
- Former board member Shivon Zilis testified the board "voiced extreme concern" about releasing ChatGPT "without any semblance of board communication," while other testimony described Altman as "creating chaos."
- Expert witness Stuart Russell, a University of California Berkeley computer scientist, warned that the first company to reach AGI could "control a majority of economic activity on the planet," underscoring trial stakes beyond Musk's dispute.
