Elon Musk is testifying in a federal court in Oakland, California, in a lawsuit against OpenAI, a nonprofit A.I. lab he co-founded. Musk alleges OpenAI breached its founding contract by taking major investments from Microsoft and building commercial products. The judge, Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, has ruled that discussions of A.I.'s existential threat to humanity will not be allowed in the trial. Musk is seeking $150 billion and an order forcing OpenAI to unwind its move to become a for-profit company. OpenAI's lead counsel, William Savitt, is challenging Musk's trustworthiness, playing a video of Musk's deposition that contradicts his court testimony. The trial is expected to last a month.
