Elon Musk clashes with OpenAI lawyer on third day of trial over ChatGPT maker

On day three of the trial, Elon Musk and OpenAI’s lawyer sparred over whether the company stayed faithful to its original nonprofit mission.

The judge pressed Musk’s side on his own competing AI venture, xAI, and narrowed the case to OpenAI’s business conduct, not broader AI safety arguments.

The dispute could influence OpenAI’s corporate structure and fuel the wider fight over how advanced AI companies should be governed and funded.
