Musk v. OpenAI: "Are you trustworthy?" Altman grilled

Elon Musk's lawyer started cross-examining OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in court with a direct question: "Are you completely trustworthy?" This happened during a trial where Musk is suing OpenAI and its leaders. Musk alleges that OpenAI, Altman, and president Greg Brockman breached their charitable trust. He claims the company shifted from a nonprofit mission to a profit-oriented structure. Microsoft, an early investor, is also named as a co-defendant. Musk's lawyer questioned Altman about accusations of dishonesty from OpenAI board members, his investments, and his brief ousting as CEO in 2023. In contrast, OpenAI's attorney suggested Musk angled for total control of the company. Musk wants the judge to order OpenAI to revert to a nonprofit, and for Altman and Brockman to lose their board positions. He is also asking for over $130 billion to go back into OpenAI’s nonprofit arm. This legal battle could significantly impact OpenAI’s future plans, including a potential initial public offering.
