Musk v. OpenAI Trial Reaches Closing Arguments — Altman Testifies Musk Wanted 90% of OpenAI, Microsoft Feared Dependency

CNBC·high signal

Closing arguments are scheduled for Thursday in the $150B Musk v. OpenAI trial. Key testimony this week: Altman said Musk 'tried to kill OpenAI twice' and wanted 90% ownership; Nadella testified Microsoft worried about OpenAI 'supplanting' it in the tech hierarchy as early as 2022. Musk's team seeks disgorgement of up to $150B and removal of Altman and Brockman from leadership, while Altman argues the for-profit pivot was the only way to fund safe AGI.
