Musk v. Altman is just getting started
Elon Musk spent the better part of three days on the witness stand this week in his lawsuit against OpenAI, and things are already getting messy. Emails, text messages and his own tweets appear in court, and many more witnesses will come. Musk’s argument against OpenAI? By converting the company to a for-profit model, Sam Altman betrayed the “nonprofit for the benefit of humanity” mission that Musk wanted to fund. As Musk keeps reminding the courtroom, “You can’t steal a good cause.”
Watch this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast discuss what’s actually at stake in the courtroom and what we should look for as Altman and others take their stand, plus deals, defense technology, and what Big Tech’s earnings week revealed about the limits of the AI spending era.
