OpenAI President Greg Brockman testified in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against the company, where his personal journals became the focal point. Attorneys for Musk presented entries from 2017 showing Brockman debating a conversion to a for-profit entity, writing that "stealing the non-profit" would be "morally bankrupt" while simultaneously noting that "making money for us sounds great." The cross-examination focused on Brockman’s estimated $30 billion stake in the OpenAI for-profit entity, contrasting it with his non-profit commitments. Musk’s legal team also highlighted potential conflicts of interest, questioning Brockman about OpenAI’s deals with companies he holds stakes in, such as Cerebras, CoreWeave, Stripe, and Helion Energy.
