Summary
During the second week of the Musk v. Altman trial, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman took the stand as a key witness for Elon Musk's case against OpenAI. Brockman was cross-examined first in an unusual procedure, and his testimony was marked by pedantic corrections, evasive phrasing, and a defensive tone reminiscent of high school debate. Musk's attorney Steven Molo read evidence aloud while Brockman frequently asked to see documents in context and quibbled over characterizations. Brockman's own journal has been cited as the strongest evidence in Musk's case so far.
