non-profit

OpenAI President Greg Brockman testified in the Musk-Altman trial, largely refuting Elon Musk’s claims about OpenAI’s early days and corporate structure. Brockman maintained OpenAI’s non-profit status and stated Musk never committed to open-sourcing technology. He also testified about Musk’s volatile reactions during negotiations and past requests for employees’ unpaid work on Tesla projects. The trial continues.

Elon Musk is suing Sam Altman and OpenAI, alleging they betrayed the company’s non-profit founding principles for commercial gain. Musk testified for three days, claiming his initial investment was diverted and that OpenAI’s current structure, valued at billions, prioritizes profit over its original mission. The trial is in its second week, with a jury determining liability. Musk seeks damages and a reversal of OpenAI’s for-profit conversion.
