Times of India | Meet Zhou Qunfei: Once she worked in a glass factory, now she runs a $26 billion company and sits alongside Elon Musk and Tim Cook at China’s state dinner AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Zhou Qunfei, who grew up in poverty in rural Hunan and left school at 15 to grind watch glass in factories, used her savings and technical skills to launch a tiny workshop in Shenzhen in 1993, eventually founding Lens Technology. The company first supplied glass for mobile‑phone screens, securing contracts with brands such as Motorola, Nokia and Samsung, but its breakthrough came in 2007 when it became a key supplier for Apple’s iPhone, later expanding to iPads, MacBooks and other devices, which propelled Lens into a global leader in touchscreen glass and helped Zhou become one of China’s richest self‑made women. Valued at roughly $26 billion, Lens now supplies smart‑vehicle components, AI hardware, robotics and aerospace parts to firms like BMW, Mercedes‑Benz and Li Auto, and is positioning itself as a “one‑stop precision manufacturing solutions provider” for emerging technologies. Zhou’s remarkable rise from factory worker to billionaire was highlighted when she sat alongside Elon Musk and Tim Cook at a high‑profile state banquet in Beijing attended by Chinese and American business leaders.

Elon Musk, an early investor in OpenAI, has filed a lawsuit against the company’s chief executive Sam Altman and his top deputy, alleging that they breached the original agreement to keep OpenAI organized as a nonprofit.

The suit, reported on May 15 2026, underscores ongoing tensions within the tech industry over the governance and commercialization of advanced artificial‑intelligence research.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Billionaire Trump Blows Deadline to Disclose Stock Trades Worth Millions by Wiktoria Gucia AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump was fined $200 twice in 2024 for failing to disclose stock trades on time, violating a federal rule that requires any transaction over $1,000 to be reported within 45 days; the fines came after the U.S. Office of Government Ethics revealed that he had not reported several large trades. The 79‑year‑old president, whose net worth is estimated at $6.5 billion, disclosed at least $220 million in financial transactions this year, including purchases of Nvidia stock shortly before a deal with Meta that boosted the share price, and buying and selling millions of dollars in Microsoft and Amazon shares around the time the Pentagon announced plans to use their technology. Critics note that 88 percent of the public opposes elected officials trading stocks while in office, arguing that such activity creates the appearance of profiting from insider knowledge; Trump’s investments are further scrutinized because they are managed by his sons rather than placed in blind trusts, raising concerns about potential influence over his holdings.

Business Latest | The Real Losers of the Musk v. Altman Trial by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article examines the broader fallout from the Musk v. Altman trial, arguing that regardless of who wins, the real losers are the employees, policymakers, and public who supported OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. While the trial focuses on whether Elon Musk’s $38 million investment was conditioned on charitable use and whether OpenAI’s shift to a for‑profit model violated that intent, the case highlights how both Musk and Sam Altman have treated the nonprofit structure as a convenient vehicle for building the world’s leading AI lab, even as it morphed into a multibillion‑dollar company. Critics, including former researchers and nonprofit advocates, contend that the nonprofit façade no longer protects the public interest; OpenAI’s massive funding, aggressive pursuit of AGI, and legal battles over safety, liability, and copyright suggest it now operates much like any profit‑driven tech giant. The trial thus underscores a deeper tension between the declared mission of ensuring artificial general intelligence benefits humanity and the commercial realities that have come to dominate the organization.

9News | The motley crew of billionaires tagging along on Trump's China visit by 9News AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Donald Trump arrived in Beijing atop Air Force One accompanied by a heavyweight delegation of U.S. business leaders and billionaires whose combined net worth exceeds a trillion dollars, including Elon Musk, Tim Cook (referred to as “Tim Apple”), Jensen Huang of NVIDIA, leaders from Apple, Boeing, Meta, Mastercard, Visa, Goldman Sachs, Micron and others, as well as filmmaker Brett Ratner. Trump announced that his first request of President Xi will be to “open up” China for these companies to make deals, hoping to revive U.S.‑China trade after recent tariffs that have slashed Chinese purchases of American goods. The entourage also sparked controversy, with Musk facing potential legal trouble for traveling abroad despite a court order, and Trump defending the inclusion of Huang after a media report claimed he had been snubbed. The trip underscores Trump’s pattern of surrounding himself with corporate titans to pursue economic and diplomatic goals in China.

Home - CBSNews.com | Musk flew to China near end of OpenAI trial, after judge warned he could be recalled AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk arrived in Beijing on Wednesday while his $150 billion civil lawsuit against OpenAI CEO Sam Altman approaches its conclusion, after U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers reminded him that he remains subject to recall and could be brought back to testify at any time. Although the San Francisco civil trial does not require his continuous physical presence, the judge made clear he is not excused and must be available for further testimony. Musk flew on Air Force One with other business leaders invited by President Trump to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping, and will likely miss both the final day of testimony and the scheduled closing arguments. The suit seeks to remove Altman from OpenAI’s board, revert the organization to a nonprofit, and transfer millions of dollars to its charitable arm, while OpenAI argues Musk’s motivation is to boost his own venture, xAI.

Feed: All Latest | OpenAI Brings Its Ass to Court by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Musk v. Altman trial opened with OpenAI seeking to introduce a small gold statue—shaped like a donkey’s rear and engraved with “Never stop being a jackass for safety”—as physical evidence of Elon Musk’s confrontational remarks toward OpenAI futurist Joshua Achiam in 2018; the company argues the trophy underscores Musk’s aggressive push for AGI at Tesla and his alleged “jackass” language, while Musk’s team deems it irrelevant, and the judge expressed reluctance to admit it formally. The broader dispute centers on Musk’s lawsuit accusing OpenAI of misusing his $38 million donation and appropriating a charity to build an $850 billion enterprise, which OpenAI counters by saying Musk is more focused on controlling a leading AGI lab than on nonprofit funding. During testimony, Musk acknowledged it was “possible” he used the term but claimed it was not meant offensively, highlighting the clash over safety, culture, and control within the fast‑moving AI landscape.

US Top News and Analysis | Altman details Musk's OpenAI fallout, says nonprofit was 'left for dead' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in the Musk‑v‑Altman trial, asserting that Elon Musk abandoned rather than stole the nonprofit, leaving OpenAI “kind of left for dead.” Altman explained that Musk, a co‑founder, failed to keep promises about the company’s charitable mission and left the board in 2018 after contentious negotiations over funding and possible for‑profit structures, which later led to the creation of a for‑profit subsidiary now valued at over $850 billion. Altman described Musk’s push for control, including an offer to merge OpenAI with Tesla, as incompatible with the nonprofit’s mission, and recounted personal turmoil during his brief 2023 ouster by the board, which claimed he was not fully candid. The trial centers on whether Musk’s $38 million donation was misused for commercial purposes, with closing arguments slated for Thursday and an advisory jury awaiting deliberation.

Times of India | After reports of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang missing Trump’s China visit, US President says ‘Jensen is currently ...’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. US President Donald Trump reportedly called Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang on the morning of May 12, urging him to join the President’s China delegation, and Huang subsequently boarded Air Force One for the trip. Trump confirmed Huang’s participation in a Truth Social post, listing other tech leaders such as Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink, and several CEOs who will travel to China to meet President Xi Jinping, with the President’s agenda focused on agriculture and commercial aviation rather than high‑end semiconductors. The article notes that while the administration has cleared Nvidia’s H200 AI chips for export to China, the deals have stalled due to Chinese regulatory hurdles, and Trump plans to ask Xi to “open up” China for these industry leaders.

Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | Sam Altman says Elon Musk wanted 90 percent of OpenAI in high-stakes trial AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In a U.S. federal court in Oakland, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified against Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing the company of “stealing a charity” after Musk invested $38 billion under the premise of a nonprofit mission, only to see OpenAI become a for‑profit entity in 2019. Altman countered that Musk was aware of, and even sought a majority stake in, the for‑profit plan, describing him as a competitor intent on controlling the firm, while Musk, who runs the AI chatbot Grok, claimed Altman was untrustworthy and sought $150 billion in damages from OpenAI and its backer Microsoft. The trial, which could decide OpenAI’s leadership, future of products like ChatGPT, and its pending potential $1 trillion IPO, also highlighted broader public skepticism toward AI’s impact and growing political efforts to regulate the technology as it becomes a major economic and electoral issue.

The New Republic | Trump’s China Entourage Shows Just How Blatant His Corruption Is by Edith Olmsted AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. President Donald Trump flew to China accompanied by his son Eric, daughter‑in‑law Lara, and a roster of more than a dozen top American CEOs—including Elon Musk, Tim Cook, Larry Fink and Boeing’s Kelly Ortberg—who hope the summit with President Xi will secure business favors; critics say the trip exemplifies blatant corruption, noting Eric Trump’s lucrative real‑estate deals and the Trump Organization’s past $5.5 million Chinese spending, while other reports from the same day detail Trump’s dismissive remarks that Americans’ financial hardships “don’t even a little bit” motivate his Iran‑war negotiations, the contentious Senate hearing where FBI Director Kash Patel clashed over alleged drinking problems, an ICE raid that mistakenly detained a U.S. citizen despite his Real ID, and a proposed $1 billion White House ballroom project that would siphon taxpayer money into extensive security upgrades.

NPR Topics: News | OpenAI's Sam Altman takes the stand to fend off Elon Musk's accusations he 'stole a charity' by John Ruwitch AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in federal court to refute Elon Musk’s claim that he “stole a charity” by converting the nonprofit creator of ChatGPT into a for‑profit juggernaut; Musk’s lawsuit alleges that Altman, President Greg Brockman and Microsoft enriched themselves through a for‑profit subsidiary that now controls the nonprofit and seeks up to $150 billion in damages, the unwinding of the for‑profit entity, and the removal of Altman and Brockman. Altman countered that Musk tried to undermine OpenAI, launched a rival xAI, poached talent, and was not a good fit for the company, noting that the founders intended no single person to control artificial general intelligence. The three‑week trial, which pits two of tech’s biggest personalities against each other, could radically reshape OpenAI’s structure and the broader AI landscape, with closing arguments scheduled for Thursday and a decision expected soon.

The Guardian | Sam Altman defends OpenAI in courtroom showdown with Elon Musk by Nick Robins-Early AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sam Altman testified in a federal courtroom in Oakland, defending OpenAI against Elon Musk’s lawsuit that claims Altman misled Musk, turned the nonprofit into a for‑profit, and should be removed from the company while redistributing $134 billion to OpenAI’s nonprofit arm; Altman denied that OpenAI was “Musk’s startup,” said Musk’s demand for total control made him uncomfortable, and portrayed Musk as erratic, whereas Musk’s lawyers described Altman as deceptive and untrustworthy. The high‑profile trial, which pits two of Silicon Valley’s most powerful figures against each other, is critical for OpenAI’s planned IPO at around a $1 trillion valuation, with closing arguments set for Thursday and a jury deliberation to follow.

BBC News | Sam Altman: Elon Musk said control of OpenAI should go to his children AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Sam Altman, co‑founder and CEO of OpenAI, testified that Elon Musk repeatedly pushed to gain long‑term control of the AI company, even proposing that ownership should pass to his children after his death. Musk allegedly wanted more board seats, the chief‑executive role, and suggested turning OpenAI into a for‑profit subsidiary of Tesla to secure faster financing, but Altman and fellow founders rejected the idea, saying it would threaten OpenAI’s mission to develop artificial general intelligence without any single person in charge. Musk ultimately left the organization in early 2018, halted his quarterly $5 million donations, and declined to invest when OpenAI formed a for‑profit arm in 2019. The dispute has now escalated to a court case. Read more: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/czj2k2exdzlo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss #SamAltman #ElonMusk #OpenAI #GregBrockman #AGI #IlyaSutskever

NBC News Top Stories | Sam Altman testifies in trial that Elon Musk ‘tried to kill’ OpenAI twice by David Ingram AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman testified in an Oakland federal trial sparked by Elon Musk’s lawsuit accusing Altman and fellow co‑founder Greg Brockman of enriching themselves at the expense of OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. Altman explained that OpenAI began in 2015 as a charitable research institute founded by himself, Musk, and others, and that the creation of a for‑profit arm in 2018 — later reorganized under a public‑benefit corporation while a nonprofit foundation retained ultimate control — was necessary to secure outside investment and keep the organization viable, resulting in “one of the largest charities in the world.” He said Musk’s claims misunderstand the history, noted Musk left the board in 2018 after concerns about control, and asserted that OpenAI has continued to seek charitable funding from donors such as Reid Hoffman and Dustin Moskovitz without deviating from its mission, while dismissing the lawsuit as competitive harassment following Musk’s launch of his own AI startup, xAI. The jury is set to hear closing statements Thursday.

The visit comes amid heightened U.S.–China tensions over trade, AI, semiconductor exports, Taiwan, fentanyl trafficking and the broader geopolitical fallout of the Iran war, and signals the growing role of corporate America in diplomatic negotiations as firms seek to secure supply‑chain stability and market access. Notable absences were Nvidia’s Jensen Huang, OpenAI’s Sam Altman and Cisco’s Chuck Robbins, while the delegation is expected to discuss potential new “boards of investment” and “boards of trade” and address specific corporate interests such as Tesla’s approval for its full‑self‑driving technology and Boeing’s pursuit of a major Chinese aircraft order.

US Top News and Analysis | OpenAI trial updates: Board chair Taylor continues testimony, Altman set to take stand AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI’s ongoing federal lawsuit in Oakland sees board chair Bret Taylor concluding his testimony on Monday, describing a “dire” period when the company nearly collapsed and explaining the recapitalization that left the nonprofit still in control while simplifying the structure for employees and investors such as SoftBank and Thrive Capital; his testimony paves the way for CEO Sam Altman to take the stand Tuesday morning after Taylor’s 8:30 a.m. PT appearance, as Elon Musk’s 2024 suit accuses Altman and president Greg Brockman of violating the nonprofit pledge and misusing his roughly $38 million donation for commercial purposes. In a related session, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, whose firm has invested more than $13 billion in OpenAI since 2019, testified that he never received any concerns from Musk about the investment, expressed pride in backing the startup when few would, and characterized the 2023 leadership turmoil around Altman’s brief ouster as “amateur” while emphasizing Microsoft’s focus on continuity.
