Musk's testimony in OpenAI lawsuit criticized as unfocused and self-centered
By

Toasted golden, schmeared with insight. Top of the rack.
Summary
Elon Musk's testimony in his lawsuit against Sam Altman over OpenAI's mission was unfocused and self-centered. Rather than building a clear narrative about Altman straying from OpenAI's founding principles, Musk spent excessive time recounting his own biography, discussing his 80-100 hour work weeks, and hyping his unrelated business ventures. The article suggests Musk was not an effective witness for his own case, appearing more petty than prepared.
