Brockman Testifies: Musk Stormed Out After Losing OpenAI Control

Greg Brockman testified for two days in the ongoing legal battle between Elon Musk and OpenAI, describing a dramatic 2017 confrontation where Musk demanded full control of the company. When co-founders refused, Musk grew angry, sat in silence, then stood up and stormed around the table before grabbing a gifted painting and walking out. Musk subsequently stopped donations and left the board within six months. His lawsuit against co-founders Altman and Brockman centers on this period, with his legal team arguing they stole a charity, while OpenAI counters that Musk sought the same control he now accuses others of taking.
