Elon Musk's Key Testimony Stumbles in OpenAI Trial

During the third day of his testimony in a four-week trial stemming from his lawsuit against OpenAI, Elon Musk made several concessions under questioning from OpenAI's lawyer, including admitting he called OpenAI's safety team 'jackasses' and that he was unaware of 'safety cards' despite his own AI firm xAI issuing them. Musk lost a bid to keep xAI's safety record out of evidence, and his lawyers failed to prevent discussions of his ties to Donald Trump. He also raised his voice at the lawyer after testifying he never loses his temper. Musk claims OpenAI made a 'fool' of him, alleging executives 'stole a charity' after accepting $38 million in donations, and that Sam Altman intended to turn the nonprofit into an $800 billion company. Musk seeks to block OpenAI from going public and to oust Altman.
