Summary
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified in a lawsuit that Elon Musk never contacted him about concerns that Microsoft's investments in OpenAI violated any agreements or commitments. Musk sued OpenAI and its leaders in 2024, claiming they abandoned the company's nonprofit mission, and he alleges Microsoft's $13 billion in investments to OpenAI helped enable this breach of charitable trust. Nadella stated that Microsoft's investments were commercial partnerships with clear business benefits, not donations, and that he believed the company acted appropriately.
