""A typical witness would not leave the country if they were subject to recall," he added. "If I were the attorney, I would have made sure that if my witness is subject to recall and he's left the country, that the judge is OK with that." Why Musk decided to bail is unclear. Maybe he couldn't pass up an opportunity to reassert himself in China, a country where he's long had important business relationships and has many admirers."
A lawsuit between Elon Musk and OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman is proceeding with closing arguments after both parties previously testified. The judge ordered Musk to be ready to testify again and placed him in recall status, requiring availability if called. Musk traveled to China on an official diplomatic visit with President Donald Trump without obtaining permission from the judge, according to sources. His lawyers faced uncertainty because recall status restrictions are judge-controlled and there is no clear rule on how close a witness must remain. A law professor said a typical witness would not leave the country while subject to recall and that counsel should ensure the judge approves any travel.
