Sam Altman's testimony at Elon Musk's OpenAI trial takes odd turn

Sam Altman testified in Elon Musk’s OpenAI lawsuit, defending OpenAI’s early culture and saying Musk was disruptive and distracted by memes.

Altman was then pressed hard on his own credibility, including whether he misled the Senate about having a financial stake in OpenAI.

The hearing in Oakland could affect the fight over OpenAI’s governance, Musk’s allegations, and Altman’s standing with investors.
