Elon Musk and Sam Altman are two of the most influential people in Silicon Valley, if not the world. Between the two of them, Musk and Altman run technology companies worth many trillions of dollars that promise to reshape civilization. But this morning, both sat under fluorescent lights in a courthouse in downtown Oakland, suffering through all manner of technical glitches as their respective attorneys kicked off the long-awaited trial in Musk v. Altman.As Steven Molo, a lawyer for Musk, began his opening argument, confused looks swept the courtroom. “We can’t hear you,” Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers said. Someone fixed his microphone. Later, as Molo began to call into question Altman’s integrity, his microphone cut out again, and his presentation disappeared from screens in the room. (“We are funded by the federal government,” Gonzalez Rogers joked. “The judiciary is happy to take more funds.”)Musk is suing Altman and OpenAI, among others, demanding legal and financial remedies that would effectively destroy OpenAI as we know it. The fight stretches back to 2015, when Musk partnered with Altman to create OpenAI out of concern, as they told it, that Google DeepMind could not be trusted to create artificial general intelligence. Corporate greed would get in the way of societal progress, they claimed, so OpenAI would be a nonprofit. After a falling out with Altman and other co-founders, Musk left in 2018. All of this was before OpenAI added a for-profit entity, and before ChatGPT became the fastest-growing consumer app in history. In 2024, Musk sued, alleging that by putting profits above its founding mission, OpenAI had violated its founding charter and misused Musk’s initial charitable donations. “It’s very simple,” Musk testified today. “It’s not okay to steal a charity.” Also named in his complaint are the OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman and Microsoft, a major investor in the company.Musk is asking that Altman be removed from OpenAI’s board, that the company convert back to a nonprofit, and for the return of allegedly “ill-gotten gains”—some $150 billion—which Musk says would go to OpenAI’s charitable trust. Outside legal experts say that Musk is unlikely to win all or even much of this. His argument is confusing: OpenAI has certainly evolved from a nonprofit lab to a revenue-chasing, consumer behemoth, and a chorus of critics has alleged that it has deviated from its original mission of ensuring that AGI benefits humanity. But Musk himself appears to… [TheTopNews] Read More.3 days ago - What Travelers Need to Know About the EU’s New Biometric Border ChecksThe rollout of new entry and exit checkpoints for travelers visiting 29 European countries has led to frustrating delays.
