OpenAI trial spotlights governance

- Elon Musk testified in the OpenAI lawsuit this week, accusing executives of deceiving him about the company’s original nonprofit mission and clashing with Sam Altman in court. - Musk reiterated he was told OpenAI would remain a nonprofit, sparred with OpenAI lawyers over the shift to a for‑profit model, and later called himself "a fool" in clarifying testimony. - The hearings are being read less as a legal blockbuster than as a case study in institutional design for AI: governance, capital structure and public trust.
