During testimony in his lawsuit against OpenAI, Elon Musk admitted that xAI utilized OpenAI's models to train Grok. This acknowledgment conflicts with the central premise of his lawsuit, which accuses OpenAI of abandoning its non-profit mission and prioritizing profits. Musk's credibility faced further scrutiny during cross-examination, where he reportedly argued with his own lawyers and changed his narrative throughout the proceedings.
