$180 billion compensation, expulsion of Altman! Musk personally goes to court, firing the first shot in the 'AI Century lawsuit' On April 29th, the global tech community's attention was entirely focused on the Oakland Federal Court in California. The long-standing legal battle between Musk and OpenAI has officially begun. This is not only a war between two men, but also a life and death game that will determine the fate of OpenAI's trillion dollar IPO and even reshape the rules of the entire AI industry. Musk personally testified in court and sat down to look directly at the jury, simplifying this complex lawsuit into a highly inflammatory characterization: "This is theft. Stealing from a non-profit organization is absolutely unacceptable The following are the four major conflicts exposed on the first day of the trial: 1. Musk's accusation: OpenAI is a traitor to humanity. Musk vigorously portrayed his role as the "biological father" in his testimony: the name was given by him, the core talent was recruited by him, and the initial funding was provided by him. He emphasized that OpenAI's original intention was a non-profit charitable cause. He even publicly compared Google co-founder Larry Page. Musk claimed that Page had told him that as long as AI can survive, it doesn't matter if humanity goes extinct, and mocked Musk for being "biased towards humanity". Musk called this idea crazy, which is why he established OpenAI to balance Google. He warned the jury, "If I lose, America may lose every non-profit organization 2. OpenAI's counterattack: Musk is just a "powerless" competitor. OpenAI's lawyer William Savitt has been extremely tough, throwing out a 2016 photo: Altman and other founders sweating profusely in a rudimentary living room, while Musk is not even present. OpenAI believes that Musk is just an occasional adviser who shouts loudly when progress slows down. They exposed the most core conflict of interest: Musk once demanded 55% of OpenAI's equity and control, but only turned his back after being rejected. We are standing here because Musk did not get what he wanted, and now he has founded xAI and is retaliating as a competitor. ” 3. Regarding the number of "donations", Rashomon Musk claimed that he was induced to donate $38 million. But OpenAI dismantled the platform on site: Musk actually only donated $25 million in cash, and the remaining $12.5 million was converted into rent, which is a huge difference from his initial promise of $1 billion. The lawyer emphasized that there is no written record promising that OpenAI will permanently maintain its non-profit status. The only person who claims to have heard this promise is Musk himself. 4. Extremely radical demand: to kick Altman out. Musk's appetite is astonishingly large, and his proposed relief measures include: OpenAI's for-profit division compensates non-profit parent company with over $180 billion; Revoke last year's corporate restructuring (which means the current valuation system will completely collapse); Completely remove Sam Altman and Greg Brockman from the company's leadership. The current situation: Legal experts generally believe that Musk has little chance of winning because the "contract evidence" seems insufficient. And there was also an awkward episode during the trial: during the jury screening process, many candidates directly referred to Musk as a "world-class jerk" in the questionnaire. But this four week trial is like a heavy sword hanging over OpenAI's head. If Musk really wins, OpenAI's recently completed restructuring last year will be overturned, and the trillion dollar IPO dream will shatter instantly. The final outcome of this AI power struggle is quietly being rewritten by every testimony.
