Overview
- Greg Brockman, who disclosed Monday that his OpenAI equity is worth nearly $30 billion, was pressed on whether leaders strayed from the nonprofit mission Elon Musk says he funded.
- In Tuesday’s testimony, Brockman said he feared Musk would hit him during a heated 2017 meeting after Musk demanded majority control of a proposed for‑profit arm.
- Brockman acknowledged financial links to CEO Sam Altman, including a share of Altman’s family office and stakes in Altman‑backed startups like Cerebras and Helion, which Musk’s lawyers cite as conflicts.
- Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers declined to admit a pretrial text that OpenAI says Musk sent warning Brockman and Altman would be “the most hated men in America.”
- Musk seeks $150 billion in damages and the removal of Altman and Brockman under claims of breach of charitable trust and unjust enrichment, a ruling that could disrupt OpenAI’s structure and potential IPO plans.
