"Musk expressed that he didn't have a problem with nonprofit OpenAI establishing a for-profit subsidiary 'as long as the for-profit is in service of the nonprofit,' but later discovered that 'the tail is wagging the dog.'"
"'Microsoft would only put $10 billion into something if they feel like they will get a return,' Musk stated, emphasizing the unusual nature of such a large investment without expectation of profit."
"'I texted Sam Altman and said, 'What the hell is going on?' something to that effect,' Musk recalled, indicating his surprise and concern over the investment."
Elon Musk testified for nearly three hours in a civil trial, addressing his control over OpenAI and his lawsuit against the company and its cofounders. He explained the delay in his lawsuit after leaving OpenAI in 2018, expressing concerns about the for-profit subsidiary's alignment with nonprofit goals. Musk reacted negatively to Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI, questioning its charitable nature. His communications with Shivon Zilis, a key figure in his life and career, were also scrutinized during the proceedings.
