Elon Musk offered OpenAI's president a settlement days before their lawsuit trial began.

Elon Musk texted OpenAI's president Greg Brockman to explore a settlement just two days before their multi-billion-dollar lawsuit trial was set to start. Musk sued OpenAI, Brockman, and CEO Sam Altman in 2024, accusing them of abandoning the nonprofit mission of OpenAI for commercial gain. The lawsuit centers on Musk's claim that his early donations were misused for profit after OpenAI created a for-profit arm following his departure from the board. The trial is ongoing in federal court in Oakland, with Brockman potentially testifying soon and Musk's text message being introduced as evidence to show Musk's motives.
