Business Latest | Everyone at the Musk v. Altman Trial Is Using Fancy Butt Cushions by Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. At the Musk v. Altman trial, both plaintiffs and defense have finished presenting their cases, but the courtroom’s most noticeable feature has been the abundance of butt cushions and pillows used by participants. Hard wooden benches on the right side, reserved for OpenAI and Microsoft lawyers and executives—including CEO Sam Altman and general counsel Che Chang—have been equipped with thick, black cushions from the brand Purple, while OpenAI President Greg Brockman and his wife have relied on white throw pillows from Coop. Even an OpenAI bodyguard brought a purple handbag with extra pillows for the Brockmans, and other attendees, such as reporters and the courtroom artist, have resorted to various cushions to ease the discomfort of the long‑lasting trial. Although not a customary courtroom practice, these cushions have become a practical response to the near‑full capacity of the courtroom and the extended hours of sitting.

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.

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.

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

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.

Feed: All Latest | Ilya Sutskever Stands by His Role in Sam Altman’s OpenAI Ouster: ‘I Didn’t Want It to Be Destroyed’ by Paresh Dave, Maxwell Zeff AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft entered its final phase as former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever testified, revealing his roughly $7 billion stake in the company’s for‑profit arm and underscoring his lingering loyalty despite being estranged from co‑founder Sam Altman and the firm. Sutskever explained he had helped orchestrate Altman’s brief 2023 removal, later defending OpenAI by arguing that the transition to a for‑profit model was necessary to secure the massive funding required to build brain‑scale computers, and he emphasized the importance of the now‑disbanded super‑alignment team for long‑term safety. His testimony also countered Musk’s claim that OpenAI violated any special non‑profit promises, noting that no such arrangements existed when Musk funded the nonprofit, and highlighted the evolving role of Microsoft, which shifted from providing discounted cloud services to seeking a profit‑sharing partnership as the costs of AI development surged. The hearing wrapped with OpenAI chairman Bret Taylor praising Altman’s leadership, setting the stage for Altman’s own testimony the following day.

US Top News and Analysis | Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella takes stand in Musk v. Altman trial AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified in federal court in Oakland during the Elon Musk‑vs‑OpenAI (Sam Altman) trial, explaining Microsoft’s long‑standing strategic partnership with OpenAI and describing the company’s massive financial backing—including $1 billion in 2019, $2 billion in 2021 and $10 billion in 2023—that has drawn Musk’s accusation that Microsoft aided a breach of OpenAI’s charitable nonprofit mission. Musk, who sued OpenAI, its leaders and Microsoft in 2024, says the scale of Microsoft’s $10 billion investment convinced him the nonprofit was being “stolen” and prompted his legal challenge. The article notes that OpenAI, founded in 2015 with Musk among its co‑founders, shifted to a for‑profit subsidiary after Musk left the board in 2018, allowing investors like Microsoft to acquire a roughly 27 % stake valued at about $135 billion. Recent tensions led to a revamped partnership that caps revenue sharing and permits OpenAI to use any cloud provider, yet Musk continues to argue that Altman and Brockman are enriching themselves while exploiting the charity’s reputation, and he questions whether Microsoft should control “digital superintelligence.” Read more: https://www.cnbc.com/2026/05/11/microsoft-ceo-satya-nadella-musk-altman-trial.html #SatyaNadella #ElonMusk #Microsoft #OpenAI #SamAltman #GregBrockman #TashaMcCauley

US Top News and Analysis | Musk testimony dominated first week Musk v. Altman. 'You can't just steal a charity' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The first week of the federal trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI’s Sam Altman ended with Musk testifying that he sued the AI firm because its leaders allegedly turned a nonprofit charity into a for‑profit operation, misusing the roughly $38 million he contributed. Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, claimed the company’s shift after his 2018 board departure and the launch of ChatGPT violated its charitable mission and enriched Altman and Greg Brockman, arguing that the for‑profit arm now “has the tail wagging the dog.” He asserted he originated OpenAI, recruited its key people, and provided the initial funding, and is seeking restitution, removal of Altman and Brockman, and reversal of the for‑profit conversion, while the jury’s liability phase is expected to conclude by May 21, with Altman and Brockman slated to testify later this month.

Feed: All Latest | A Dark-Money Campaign Is Paying Influencers to Frame Chinese AI as a Threat by Taylor Lorenz AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Build American AI—a dark‑money outfit tied to the $100 million “Leading the Future” super PAC backed by tech executives from OpenAI, Palantir, Andreessen Horowitz and others—is funding a coordinated influencer campaign that first showcased lifestyle creators praising American AI and now pushes “China is a threat” messaging, paying influencers $5,000‑plus per post to frame Chinese advancement in artificial intelligence as a national‑security risk and an economic danger to U.S. jobs and personal data; the effort, run through the agency SM4, targets both left‑ and right‑leaning creators, has been denied any direct support by OpenAI or Palantir, and reflects a broader push by AI‑industry groups to steer public opinion and policy ahead of the 2026 midterms by leveraging undisclosed paid content on TikTok, Instagram and X.

Feed: All Latest | How Shivon Zilis Operated as Elon Musk’s OpenAI Insider by Maxwell Zeff, Paresh Dave AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Shivon Zilis, a longtime Musk associate and mother of four of his children, emerged during the first week of the Musk‑v‑Altman trial as a pivotal behind‑the‑scenes conduit between Elon Musk and OpenAI. Joining OpenAI as an advisor in 2016 and later serving on its nonprofit board (2020‑2023), Zilis also held executive roles at Neuralink and Tesla. Court testimony and documents reveal that she acted as Musk’s informal “chief of staff” and “close advisor,” relaying internal OpenAI developments, negotiating equity structures, and coordinating personnel moves while simultaneously advising OpenAI founders on managing their relationship with Musk. Texts and emails show Zilis updating Musk on fundraising, project progress, and strategic concerns—such as Musk’s desire to limit the influence of Google DeepMind’s leader—and facilitating communications during key moments, including Musk’s departure from the board (February 2018) and later disputes over OpenAI’s shift toward for‑profit funding and valuation. Her dual role as confidante to both Musk and OpenAI leadership underscores the intricate personal and professional ties that have become central to the legal battle over alleged breaches of the original charitable mission of OpenAI.

Slate Magazine | Elon Musk Is Probably Going to Lose the OpenAI Case by Tony Ho Tran AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. El Elon Musk, a co‑founder of OpenAI, has sued the artificial‑intelligence firm and its leaders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman for allegedly abandoning its original nonprofit purpose in favor of profit, seeking over $130 billion in damages, the removal of the executives and a return to a pure nonprofit structure. While the trial in Oakland is massive and costly, experts doubt Musk will win, noting he lacks regulatory authority and that no contract obligates OpenAI to stay nonprofit forever. Observers argue Musk’s real aim is not legal victory but a highly public platform to embarrass his former collaborators, expose internal communications, and reshape the narrative around OpenAI’s success—a venture that has outgrown his influence with products like ChatGPT that rival his own technological enterprises.

Observer | The Real Stakes Behind Elon Musk’s Showdown with Sam Altman by Rachel Curry AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The California trial pits Elon Musk against OpenAI’s chief Sam Altman over whether a company that began as a nonprofit can later become a for‑profit entity without breaching its original mission, with Musk arguing it cannot. Musk—who co‑founded OpenAI and now runs the rival xAI—claims the 2022 $10 billion Microsoft investment and OpenAI’s shift to a capped‑profit model in 2019 (and its 2025 conversion to a public‑benefit corporation) violated the charity’s founding purpose, and he is seeking over $150 billion in damages, a forced return to nonprofit status, and a legal ruling on whether OpenAI’s models are approaching artificial general intelligence. OpenAI contends the suit is driven by personal rivalry and that Musk previously pushed for a for‑profit conversion himself; experts say a court‑ordered reversion to nonprofit is unlikely, though financial penalties may be awarded, and the case could set precedent for how future AI startups balance nonprofit origins with profit‑driven growth.

The Guardian | Musk faces third day of questioning in contentious trial over OpenAI’s founding by Dara Kerr in Oakland and Nick Robins-Early AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI entered its third day of testimony in a federal courthouse in Oakland, with the Tesla CEO facing further questioning and preparing to call additional witnesses, including OpenAI president Greg Brockman, while OpenAI’s co‑founder Sam Altman is slated to testify later in the three‑week trial. Musk, who co‑founded OpenAI in 2015, alleges that Altman, Brockman and the company breached an original agreement by converting the nonprofit into a for‑profit entity, enriching themselves and violating the founders’ intent, and is seeking to reverse the conversion and obtain $134 billion in damages for the nonprofit arm. OpenAI denies the claims, saying Musk was aware of the for‑profit plans and accusing him of jealousy over the firm’s success, and argues it remains overseen by a nonprofit. The case, watched closely by Silicon Valley, could affect OpenAI’s planned public listing later this year and has broader implications for the AI industry, with a nine‑person jury to decide liability and the judge determining any remedies.

US Top News and Analysis | OpenAI trial live updates: Musk takes the stand again after heated cross-examination AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk returned to the stand for a third time on Thursday as the OpenAI trial entered its fourth day, facing heated cross‑examination by OpenAI’s lawyer William Savitt. Musk reiterated that he lost trust in Sam Altman by late 2022, citing Microsoft’s $10 billion investment in 2023 as the tipping point that convinced him the company’s for‑profit arm had overtaken its original nonprofit mission, effectively “stealing the charity” he helped seed with $38 million. He argued that a small for‑profit subsidiary could support the nonprofit, but it should not become the “main event.” After Musk’s testimony, his attorneys are expected to call Jared Birchall, the manager of Musk’s family office, and possibly Greg Brockman and Stanford professor Stuart Russell as additional witnesses. The case is overseen by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers in federal court in Oakland, California.

NPR Topics: News | In court, Elon Musk accuses OpenAI of trying to 'have your cake and eat it, too' by John Ruwitch AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In court testimony in Oakland on April 28‑29, 2026, Elon Musk said he was a “fool” for funding OpenAI and accused the company’s leaders—CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman—of turning the original 2015 nonprofit into a for‑profit enterprise that “stole” a charity. Musk argued that the 2020 Microsoft investment and a later $10 billion injection gave Microsoft undue control, violated OpenAI’s promise to stay open, and effectively made the for‑profit arm the dominant entity of a $20 billion‑valued organization. He is seeking Altman’s ouster, a rollback of the for‑profit structure, and greater control, while acknowledging his own $38 million contribution and claiming the nonprofit’s mission has been compromised.

Elon Musk testified in a landmark trial accusing OpenAI co‑founder Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman of turning the 2015 nonprofit that he helped launch into a for‑profit enterprise, effectively “stealing” a charity; Musk argues that the creation of a multibillion‑dollar commercial arm violates the original charitable mission and seeks to have Altman and Brockman removed and OpenAI restored to nonprofit status, while OpenAI counters that Musk’s lawsuit is a self‑serving attempt to cripple his own rival AI firm xAI, dismissing his claims as baseless and highlighting that the case hinges on whether the shift to a profit model breaches charity laws, with other industry figures such as Microsoft’s Satya Nadella expected to testify.

qwant news | Sam Altman that could reshape AI's future AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk, Tesla’s CEO and one of OpenAI’s co‑founders, took the stand Tuesday at a federal courthouse in Oakland in a civil lawsuit he filed in 2024 against OpenAI chief Sam Altman, co‑founder Greg Brockman, and Microsoft. Musk alleges the trio abandoned OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission to steward safe, open artificial‑intelligence development, turning the organization into a for‑profit venture valued at roughly $852 billion after a massive Microsoft investment. In opening statements, Musk’s lawyer quoted OpenAI’s founding charter and accused Altman and Brockman of “stealing a charity.” Musk testified that he expects AI to surpass human intelligence within a year and warned that, like an uncontrolled child, such super‑intelligent systems could become dangerous without built‑in values. The nine‑person jury was selected Monday, and the three‑week trial will continue with additional testimony from Altman, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and others.

Al Jazeera – Breaking News, World News and Video from Al Jazeera | Musk testifies at OpenAI trial it’s not OK to ‘loot a charity’ AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Elon Musk testified at a high‑stakes trial against OpenAI, its co‑founder Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman, claiming they betrayed the company’s original charitable mission by turning the nonprofit into a profit‑driven enterprise and seeking $150 billion in damages and a return to nonprofit status, with proceeds to OpenAI’s charitable arm. Musk argued that allowing a “charity” to be looted would undermine charitable giving in America, citing his own long‑standing concerns about AI safety and his substantial early funding of OpenAI. OpenAI’s lawyers countered that Musk pushed for a for‑profit structure to secure computing power and talent, and accused him of wanting “the keys to the kingdom” after his 2023 launch of xAI. The judge admonished Musk to curb his social‑media attacks on Altman, while both parties, along with Microsoft’s Satya Nadella, are expected to testify, underscoring the broader implications for OpenAI’s leadership, a potential IPO, and public anxiety about AI.
