Altman details Musk's OpenAI fallout, says nonprofit was 'left for dead'

This article covers testimony from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman in a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk over OpenAI's conversion from a nonprofit to a for-profit structure. Altman argued that Musk abandoned the company rather than Altman stealing it, testifying that negotiations between the co-founders in 2017-2018 over corporate structure collapsed and Musk left OpenAI's board in February 2018. The dispute centers on whether Altman and other executives broke promises to keep OpenAI as a nonprofit and use Musk's roughly $38 million donation only for charitable purposes.
