Trial overview

Musk, wearing a dark suit and tie, was asked by one of his lawyers what the lawsuit was about when he took the stand.

“It’s actually very simple. It’s not okay to steal a charity… If it’s okay to loot a charity, the entire foundation of charitable giving will be destroyed.”

An OpenAI lawyer said the lawsuit was motivated by Musk seeking to kneecap a “competitor.” The judge warned both Musk and Altman against using their platforms to influence the trial.

“We’re here because Mr Musk didn’t get his way at OpenAI,” said OpenAI lawyer William Savitt. “Because he’s a competitor, Mr Musk will do anything to attack OpenAI.”

Musk’s attorney, Steven Molo, reminded the nine jurors in Oakland to set aside personal opinions of the two Silicon Valley billionaires and former friends.

“You all took an oath to put personal opinions aside,” he said. “I know you will honour that oath.”

Molo noted that Musk became more involved in AI as the technology advanced rapidly, growing concerned that “the government was not stepping up” to regulate it. He cited a 2015 meeting with then‑President Barack Obama and emphasized that Musk believed AI “wasn’t a vehicle for people to get rich.”

Molo described Musk’s involvement in OpenAI, to which he had donated $38 million (£28 million) over several years while it operated as a non‑profit.

“Without Elon Musk, there would be no OpenAI. Pure and simple,” he asserted.

马斯克的主张

马斯克反对 OpenAI 在 2018 年设立商业部门的决定，这比 ChatGPT 的推出早了数年，而 ChatGPT 开启了商业 AI 市场。在他的开场论点中，Molo 说 OpenAI CEO Sam Altman 和联合创始人 Greg Brockman “偷走了一个慈善机构”。

马斯克正寻求数十亿美元的所谓“非法收益”，他希望这些资金用于资助 OpenAI 的非营利部门。他还希望对公司进行大刀阔斧的改革，包括罢免 Altman。其主张包括：

• 违反慈善信托
• 不当得利

OpenAI 的律师辩称，马斯克利用他的投资来“欺压”其他创始人，并且曾想将公司与他同样拥有的特斯拉合并。

“其他创始人拒绝把人工智能的钥匙交给一个人，”Savitt 继续说道。 “当他们拒绝让 OpenAI 被吞并时，马斯克‘把弹珠收进口袋，回家去了’。”

OpenAI’s response

OpenAI 认为，马斯克从未在乎组织是否保持非营利性质，他的动机源于对离开公司的嫉妒和后悔。该公司指控马斯克在通往通用人工智能（AGI）的竞争加速时，试图破坏一个关键竞争对手。

OpenAI 还辩称，马斯克明白设立商业部门的决定，并且在未能成为首席执行官后才离开公司。Altman 预计将在审判期间作证。

法庭程序

法官 Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers 决定不实施禁言令，允许参与者在法庭外讨论审判。陪审团选出当天，Musk 在 X（前身为 Twitter）上称被告为 “Scam Altman”。法官要求 Musk 今后保持 “clean slate”，并敦促他 “control your propensity to use social media to make things worse outside this courtroom”。Altman 和 Brockman 同意了同样的约束。

潜在结果

预计将在五月底宣布裁决。如果马斯克的主张被支持，法院可能会下令将资金返还给 OpenAI 的非营利部门，并可能强制公司进行治理变更。相反，如果裁决对 OpenAI 有利，将强化其商业活动的合法性，并削弱马斯克对该组织的影响。
