He told the court he knew there were early conversations in 2017 about changing the organization, but said he did not dig into the legal specifics at the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">&#8220;My testimony is I didn&#8217;t read the fine print, just the headline,&#8221; Musk said. He also described where he believes OpenAI&#8217;s economic weight sits now: &#8220;The for-profit is overwhelmingly where the value is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Altman and Musk&#8217;s relationship predates the current trial, stretching back to OpenAI&#8217;s 2015 launch and Musk&#8217;s 2018 departure after disputes over direction, leadership, and safety priorities. Since then, Musk has criticized OpenAI&#8217;s commercial trajectory while building xAI as a competitor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">In court, Musk has asked for sweeping remedies that go well beyond damages, including returning OpenAI to nonprofit control and removing Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman from leadership.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI Pushes Back<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has kept the trial&#8217;s focus on governance and fiduciary duties, limiting wider arguments about AI extinction scenarios.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Disclaimer: This content was partially produced with the help of AI tools and was reviewed and published by Benzinga editors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"block core-block\">Photo courtesy: jamesonwu1972 \/ Shutterstock.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After days of sparring in a federal courtroom, Sam Altman used a Saturday post on social media to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":54853,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[150],"tags":[1834,1638,215,218,213,212,581,3064,223,10797,10798],"class_list":{"0":"post-54852","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sam-altman","8":"tag-category-legal","9":"tag-category-markets","10":"tag-category-news","11":"tag-category-tech","12":"tag-cms-wordpress","13":"tag-pageisbzpro-bz","14":"tag-sam-altman","15":"tag-symbol-msft","16":"tag-tag-elon-musk","17":"tag-tag-openai","18":"tag-tag-sam-altman"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@people\/116509594277660667","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=54852"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/54852\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/54853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=54852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/people\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=54852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
