Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- Mr Musk is seeking $US150 billion ($208 billion) in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, one of its largest investors, according to a person involved in the case, with proceeds going to OpenAI's charitable arm.
- By mid-2017, Mr Musk began questioning OpenAI's viability, at one point holding back-promised funds after clashing with Mr Altman, Mr Brockman and Ms Sutskever, according to court filings.
- Mr Musk said the defendants kept him in the dark about their plans, exploited his name and financial support to create a "wealth machine" for themselves, and owe damages for having conned him and the public.
- The company says Mr Musk was involved in discussions to create OpenAI's new structure and demanded to be CEO.
Key claims in source B
- (Musk posted yesterday that he was en route to Beijing on Air Force One.) “They are here because they care a lot about this,” Savitt said.
- However, OpenAI says that “This lawsuit has always been a baseless and jealous bid to derail a competitor” in a bid to boost Musk’s own SpaceX / xAI / X companies that have launched Grok as a competitor to ChatGPT.
- Now he’s in parts unknown.” Savitt says Musk has “selective amnesia.”“He claims to have heard things high atop a windy hill where no one else can hear,” Savitt told the jury.
- Only after OpenAI succeeded, against Musk’s prediction, only then did he start threatening litigation,” Savitt said.
