Musk\u2019s lawyer shot back, grilling Altman on his alleged history of lying. He pointed out that OpenAI\u2019s former executives Ilya Sutskever and Mira Murati, and former board members Helen Toner and Tasha McCauley, all testified that Altman had lied to them. In 2023, Altman was briefly fired as CEO over the alleged behavior.<\/p>\n
Molo also pressed Altman about his personal investments in startups that do business with OpenAI. Altman testified that he tried to steer OpenAI to buying power from the nuclear energy company Helion Energy, a third of which he owns.<\/p>\n
(Last Friday, the US House oversight committee launched an investigation into Altman\u2019s potential conflicts of interest. Attorneys general from more than a half-dozen states called for the Securities and Exchange Commission to review them.)<\/p>\n
During his closing statement, Molo put Altman\u2019s credibility on the stand again. \u201cImagine that you\u2019re on a hike, and you come upon one of those wooden bridges that you see on a trail, and it\u2019s over a gorge,\u201d he said. \u201cA woman standing by the entry to the bridge says, \u2018Don\u2019t worry\u2014the bridge is built on Sam Altman\u2019s version of the truth.\u2019 Would you walk across that bridge?\u201d<\/p>\n
Altman, who sat behind his lawyers, looked up uneasily every time his name was mentioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During her closing argument, Eddy fired back. Musk \u201cnever cared about the nonprofit structure,\u201d she said. \u201cWhat he cared about was winning.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
Musk, though, was absent. Despite the judge\u2019s order that he remain available, he flew to China with President Trump.<\/p>\n
During her closing argument, Eddy argued that no testimony or evidence showed any conditions on Musk\u2019s donations, or any promises made by Altman and Brockman to keep the company a nonprofit. \u201cNo commitments or promises were made. No restrictions were placed on Mr. Musk\u2019s donations,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
