"Day 2 of the trial, Musk dropped more bombshells about OpenAI’s history. Here’s a summary of his 3.5-hour testimony: • Musk said he invested $38 million into OpenAI to support the nonprofit, open-source organization. OpenAI even planned to give Musk shares. • But Musk believed that charities shouldn’t have shares—it could easily be seen as bribery. The proposed share percentage was 51%. • At the end of 2022, when Microsoft invested $10 billion into OpenAI, Musk texted Sam asking what was going on. After all, how does a charity raise that much funding and dilute shares? • Sam replied to Musk’s text saying, “I agree, this feels bad. We offered you equity before, but you didn’t want it at the time. If you’re interested, we’re still happy to give it to you anytime.” • It was only then that Musk realized his donations to a charity had been turned into a revenue-generating, for-profit company by Sam, who was even aiming for an IPO. That’s why Musk filed the lawsuit. • Records show Musk did indeed donate to OpenAI for a long time, with his last quarterly donation of $5 million made in May 2017. He stopped covering OpenAI’s office rent in 2020. • During the trial, OpenAI’s lawyer hinted that Musk’s xAI Grok is far behind ChatGPT. Musk fired back, saying, “Not anymore.” #OpenAI #ElonMusk #SamAltman #Microsoft #ChatGPT #xAI #TechNews
