Live updates from Elon Musk and Sam Altman’s court battle over the future of OpenAI

Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI continues. Musk is seeking $150 billion in damages to be paid by OpenAI and Microsoft.

Key revelations from the trial so far:

  • Musk admitted that xAI trained Grok in part by “distilling” OpenAI’s GPT models
  • Former OpenAI technology chief testified that Altman sowed “chaos” and distrust among top executives
  • Musk is asking the court to remove Altman and Brockman from their roles and unwind the restructuring that allowed OpenAI to operate a for-profit subsidiary
  • Musk warned that AI could “destroy us all” during testimony; judge cut off his doomsday talk
  • xAI is expected to go public as part of SpaceX as early as June at a target valuation of $1.75 trillion
