Elon Musk testified for three days in his lawsuit against OpenAI, claiming Sam Altman betrayed the nonprofit mission by converting the company to for-profit. The case is surfacing emails, texts, and tweets as evidence, with more witnesses expected.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Frontier Models.
