Federal court in Oakland, Calif. United States District Court Northern District of California Earlier in the day, Musk returned to the witness stand knocking his fellow co-founders including Altman for wanting the do-gooder image of running a charity while building a for-profit entity worth many billions of dollars. “They can’t have their cake and eat it too,” Musk said. “They can’t have the positive halo effect of a charity and enrich themselves greatly.” Musk has accused OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman of duping him into thinking he was donating tens of millions of dollars toward launching a nonprofit to develop AI safely and for the benefit of humanity, only to turn it into a for-profit enterprise. Prior to the trial, Musk unleashed a flurry of social media posts that slapped OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman with the moniker “Scam Altman.” On Tuesday, Savitt slammed Musk’s legal agenda as a hypocritical “tale of two Elons” — calling it an attempt to throttle OpenAI after Musk launched his rival startup xAI. Musk “will do anything he can to attack OpenAI,” Savitt said. “He didn’t start coming up with these arguments until he saw that OpenAI could make a lot of money.” “What he cares about is Elon Musk being on top,” Savitt added. “Mr. Musk had fallen behind. He launched xAI and then he sued.” Filed under
