Musk v. Altman Week 2: OpenAI Fires Back, and Shivon Zilis Says Musk Tried to Poach Sam Altman

Musk v. Altman week 2: OpenAI fires back, and Shivon Zilis reveals that Musk tried to poach Sam Altman

Greg Brockman testified that Elon Musk pushed OpenAI in 2017 to create a for-profit arm and sought majority equity, board control, and the CEO role; Musk now asks the court to remove Sam Altman and Brockman, unwind OpenAI’s restructuring, and award up to $134 billion from OpenAI and Microsoft.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the story adds testimony on Musk’s 2017 control push and a $134B claim against OpenAI and Microsoft. It is a strong legal-governance update, not a model or product release, so it stays in the 78–84 band.
