TSL Special: Musk v. OpenAI — Week 1 Recap

Week one of the Musk v. OpenAI trial is in the books. Elon Musk spent seven hours on the stand — by turns compelling and contradictory. His "speciesist" origin story gripped the courtroom, but his admission that xAI distills OpenAI's models gave the defense its best moment. Jared Birchall testified about the money. And Greg Brockman's diary entries are the wildcard heading into week two, where Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, and Ilya Sutskever are all expected to testify.
