Sam Altman took the stand in a California federal court as part of Elon Musk's lawsuit seeking to block OpenAI's conversion to a for-profit entity. Musk's attorney Steve Molo challenged Altman's credibility, citing his 2023 congressional testimony where he claimed no equity in OpenAI while holding indirect economic exposure through a Y Combinator LP position. The trial also revisited Altman's brief firing by OpenAI's board in 2023, with former board members alleging a 'toxic culture of lying.' A central legal question is whether OpenAI's non-profit board retains genuine control over the for-profit arm, with testimony suggesting Altman's influence may exceed the board's authority given that his departure would have collapsed the company.
