Elon Musk on the witness stand: here's what he said about OpenAI

Elon Musk testified in federal court in his lawsuit against OpenAI, saying the company abandoned its charitable mission and poses serious AI risks.

OpenAI pushed back, arguing Musk is suing out of frustration after losing influence over the company he helped found.

The case could influence how courts assess OpenAI’s shift from nonprofit roots to a profit-driven structure.

The outcome may also shape future debates over AI governance, charitable trusts, and the Musk-OpenAI rivalry.
