Ex-OpenAI CTO Murati accuses CEO Altman of fostering chaos and mistrust in Elon Musk's lawsuit.

Mira Murati, former CTO of OpenAI, testified in Elon Musk's lawsuit accusing CEO Sam Altman of creating a divisive and chaotic environment among executives, undermining her ability to work effectively. She described Altman as untrustworthy and criticized his management style, which she said pitted leaders against each other. The lawsuit claims Altman and OpenAI's president prioritized profit over public benefit, a charge OpenAI denies. Murati also revealed the turmoil after Altman's brief firing, highlighting risks to the company's stability and efforts to retain key staff amid poaching attempts by rivals like Google and Musk's AI firms. The case continues to unfold in federal court, with Musk seeking major damages and structural changes at OpenAI.
