1. Elon testifies he’s suing OpenAI over alleged charity “theft” in Altman trial

• Musk said the case could set a precedent for “looting every charity in America” if OpenAI’s conduct isn’t deemed improper.

• OpenAI attorney William Savitt objected, asking the judge to strike the testimony as Musk isn’t a lawyer.

• “AI could make everyone prosperous, but it could also kill us all,” Musk said.

• Microsoft backed Altman and Brockman in making a “mockery” of OpenAI’s mission, Musk’s lawyer, Steven Molo, said.

• Musk had supported a for-profit structure early on, calling a nonprofit setup a “mistake,” Savitt said.

• The judge urged Musk and Altman to curb social media posts that could escalate the case.
