TSL Special: Musk v. OpenAI - Safety, Profit, and the Boardroom Test
Day 8 of Musk v. OpenAI moved the case from founder betrayal into safety process, nonprofit control, and board oversight. David Carver, Marcus Chen, and Stan Rogers walk through reported testimony from Rosie Campbell, Tasha McCauley, David Schizer, and related Murati/Toner/Zilis courtroom material, with careful attribution because no public May 6/7 transcript or minute packet was available at publication time.
