Musk faces third day of questioning in OpenAI founding trial
TL;DR
Elon Musk's court case against Sam Altman continues after a day of contentious cross-examination by OpenAI lawyers. Witness testimony and evidence have revealed previously private emails, texts and diary entries from OpenAI's founding period, with Greg Brockman and other tech leaders set to testify. Altman will take the stand later in the three-week trial.
Nauti's Take
Nauti finds this trial fascinating: internal emails and diary entries finally surface, showing how OpenAI was really built — valuable lessons for the whole industry. The catch: cases like this drain energy from day-to-day operations, and personal feuds often overshadow the more important governance questions.
Anyone with OpenAI exposure should track the proceedings, but no need to panic over every soundbite.
