The legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI has entered its second week, with fresh testimonies expected after Musk’s high-profile appearance in court. The case centres on allegations that OpenAI deviated from its original non-profit mission

The high-profile legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI has entered its second week, following an intense opening phase marked by Musk’s testimony in a federal court in Oakland, California.

The trial stems from Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and its leadership, including CEO Sam Altman, alleging that the company deviated from its original non-profit mission and shifted towards a profit-driven structure.

During the first week, Musk spent several days on the stand, outlining his role in founding OpenAI and arguing that the organisation was meant to function as a public-interest entity rather than a commercial enterprise.

He has sought to compel OpenAI to revert to its non-profit structure, claiming that the transition to a for-profit model violated its founding principles.
