Microsoft doesn’t want any of this
TL;DR
Maybe I'm just punch drunk in my third week attending Musk v. Altman, but I have become very, very fond of Microsoft during the course of this trial. They don't want to be here any more than I do. Their opening statement was honestly one of the most Microsoft things I've ever seen.
Nauti's Take
Fun to watch Microsoft try to glide through the Musk-vs-Altman trial with a casual product pitch — composed and detached. Risk: as OpenAI's biggest backer, Microsoft is a player, not an observer, and political fallout can land without a starring role.
Market read: even the grown-ups can't fully extract themselves from the AI drama.
