Key claims and evidence
Key claims in source A
- He said leadership pivoted toward commercial success, contradicting early commitments that shaped his financial and strategic involvement in the organization’s early years.
- He claims he backed OpenAI on that promise, but it later shifted toward a profit-led model with close ties to Microsoft, raising questions about control and intent.
- It questions OpenAI’s transparency, defends his intent, and ends with a blunt line: “Elon Musk must win.” To those who pit Sam Altman and Elon Musk against each other like a billionaire feud, look, do your own research.
- Judge YGR explaining to jurors the 2 claims they’ll be hearing:1.
Key claims in source B
- In a January filing, Musk's attorneys said he should receive up to $134 billion in damages from OpenAI and Microsoft, one of OpenAI's longtime backers, which is also named as a defendant in the lawsuit.
- The startup has repeatedly dismissed Musk's lawsuit as "baseless," calling it a "harassment campaign that's driven by ego, jealousy and a desire to slow down a competitor," according to a post on X earlier in April.
- Should he succeed, Musk said, he wants the court to return all "ill-gotten gains" to OpenAI's nonprofit, not to him personally.
- Musk's lawyers are seeking to dismiss two of the claims, fraud and constructive fraud, ahead of the trial in an effort to "streamline the case," according to a filing.
