Cross-examination targeted Sam Altman’s trustworthiness during the Musk v. Altman court dispute. Opposing counsel asked whether Altman was completely trustworthy, and Altman responded that he believed he was honest and trustworthy.

A former board member testified about repeated crisis events stemming from Altman’s behavior and said there were doubts about what the CEO told them.
