Sam Altman says Elon Musk’s mind games were damaging OpenAI

Sam Altman testified in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI that Musk damaged OpenAI’s culture by asking Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever to rank researchers by accomplishments and “take a chainsaw through a bunch”; the RSS snippet does not disclose the full deposition record.

Why it matters: HKR-H/K/R all pass: the OpenAI-Musk conflict has a strong hook, named testimony, and governance resonance. It stays near the featured floor because this is legal/personnel reporting, not a model or product release.
