Musk Testifies He’s Suing OpenAI to Stop Altman’s ‘Looting’

Elon Musk testified Tuesday he’s suing OpenAI and two of its co-founders — Sam Altman and Greg Brockman — because the startup’s pivot from a charity to a for-profit business is wrong and sets a concerning precedent for other philanthropic efforts.

“It is not okay to steal a charity, that’s my view,” Musk told jurors at the outset of a trial in federal court in Oakland, California.
