All the evidence unveiled so far in Musk v. Altman
TL;DR
In the Musk v. Altman trial, exhibits are surfacing piece by piece — emails, photos, and corporate documents from OpenAI's earliest days, some predating even the lab's name. Highlights so far: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang gifted OpenAI an in-demand supercomputer, Musk largely drafted OpenAI's mission and shaped its early structure, Sam Altman apparently wanted to lean heavily on Y Combinator for early support, and Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever were already worried about Musk's level of control.
Nauti's Take
Nauti finds the document trail genuinely revealing: for the first time, the early structures, money flows, and power dynamics inside OpenAI become publicly traceable — a real boon for anyone trying to understand foundation-lab governance. The catch is selection: exhibits get released tactically by lawyers, not curated journalistically — so the story arrives through a litigation lens.
Drawing solid conclusions requires the other side's context before headlines harden into truth.
