Elon Musk may have just told Microsoft: You would not have given $10 billion to Sam Altman, unless you saw ...
Elon Musk testified that Microsoft's $10 billion investment in OpenAI was a strategic move for a return, not a donation, during his lawsuit against the AI company.Summary
Elon Musk returned to court for the third day of his lawsuit against OpenAI, testifying that he was a "fool" for investing in the company after it shifted from non-profit to for-profit. He argued that Microsoft's $10 billion investment indicated an expectation of a large return and a desire to control the development of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Musk described the partnership as a "bait and switch" and accused OpenAI of "stealing a charity." Separately, OpenAI and Microsoft announced a revised $13 billion partnership that ends Microsoft's exclusive license to OpenAI's technology, allowing OpenAI to sell its products on rival cloud platforms like AWS and Google Cloud. The new deal keeps Microsoft as the primary cloud partner but removes the exclusivity, with Microsoft's license to OpenAI's intellectual property running through 2032.
