Musk vs OpenAI Heads to Verdict as Altman Credibility Attacked in Closing Arguments

Altman won’t say he was completely trustworthy, jurors hear

In closing arguments near the end of an Oakland federal trial, Elon Musk’s lawyers attacked OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s credibility, arguing he misled investors and jurors in a dispute over whether OpenAI turned its nonprofit mission into an insiders’ profit engine. Musk claims he was manipulated into donating $38 million and wants about $150 billion in damages, alongside removal of Altman and Greg Brockman. OpenAI counters that Musk sought control and sued too late, blaming “selective amnesia.”
