Hidden OpenAI secrets and billion-dollar AI stakes: Is Sam Altmans Musk courtroom battle Big Techs biggest warning yet as the CEO takes the witness stand today?

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is expected to take the witness stand today, Tuesday, May 12, in the high-profile legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI. The trial, now in its third week in California federal court, centers on Musks claim that OpenAI abandoned its original nonprofit mission after he helped fund the organization with roughly $38 million in its early years. Musk argues that Altman and OpenAI transformed the company into a profit-driven AI powerhouse tied closely to Microsoft, violating the founding vision of building artificial intelligence for the benefit of humanity.
