Musk texted OpenAI's Brockman about settlement two days before trial began
Summary
Elon Musk, who co-founded OpenAI in 2015, is suing the company for allegedly breaking its commitment to remain a nonprofit and pursue a charitable mission, claiming they instead commercialized the AI technology. Two days before the trial started, Musk texted OpenAI's president Greg Brockman about settling the case, but when Brockman suggested both sides drop their claims, Musk responded with a threat about making him and CEO Sam Altman "the most hated men in America."
