Elon Musk sent ominous texts to Greg Brockman and Sam Altman after asking for a settlement, OpenAI claims

OpenAI told the court that Elon Musk sent threatening texts to Greg Brockman and Sam Altman after proposing a settlement.

The judge ruled the text exchange inadmissible, so it will not be considered as evidence in the trial.

The filing could still shape how the court views Musk’s motives in the wider dispute with OpenAI.

The case is being watched for whether it centers on AI governance and safety, or on financial leverage against a rival.
