Summary
Jury selection in the Elon Musk v. Sam Altman trial over OpenAI's alleged broken promises began with a challenge: many prospective jurors already hold negative opinions about Elon Musk. Musk's lawyers attempted to strike jurors who expressed dislike for him, with some calling him a "jerk" and "greedy" in their questionnaires. The trial centers on claims that OpenAI broke its original promises to Musk.
