Elon Musk sent threatening texts to OpenAI leaders over a settlement offer, court hears.

Two days before the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial began, Musk sent ominous texts to OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman, threatening public backlash if they did not settle the lawsuit. OpenAI's lawyers submitted this exchange to court to show Musk's aggressive stance, but the judge ruled the texts inadmissible as evidence. The lawsuit seeks to dismantle OpenAI's for-profit structure and demands damages, while OpenAI counters that Musk's motives are financial rather than safety concerns. The trial is ongoing, highlighting tensions over AI technology control and business interests.
