Tesla CEO Elon Musk testified in Oakland Federal Court on Wednesday, stating that OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman and other leaders were "not truthful" with him and have deviated from the lab's non-profit mission. Musk accused OpenAI, its CEO Altman, and President Brockman of abandoning their commitment to responsible AI development and "stealing a charity" when they established a for-profit entity in 2019. In court, he said, "I feel like a fool for funding a non-profit organization that ultimately turned into an $800 billion for-profit company." Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages and demanding the removal of Altman and Brockman from their positions. A 2017 email presented in court showed Musk once referred to himself as a "fool" for funding a non-profit project. Musk stated, "I believe they were not honest with me; what they really wanted was to create a for-profit company where they could maximize their own equity." OpenAI argued that Musk's actions are "sour grapes" stemming from his failure to gain control of the company and are aimed at undermining a competitor. Notably, around the same time as the court proceedings, Microsoft and OpenAI announced on April 27 a revision to their cooperation agreement, ending the exclusive binding model. This allows OpenAI to deploy its products on platforms like AWS and Google Cloud, while committing to purchase $250 billion worth of Azure services from Microsoft. Although this adjustment is not directly related to the lawsuit, it is seen as a key step for OpenAI to advance its IPO and meet independence requirements.
