Satya Nadella disputes Elon Musk claims, says OpenAI investments were not charitable donations

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella spent hours on the witness stand in the high-profile Elon Musk vs Sam Altman trial defending Microsoft’s multibillion-dollar partnership with OpenAI and pushing back against claims from Elon Musk that the company helped undermine OpenAI’s original nonprofit mission. Testifying in federal court in Oakland, California, Nadella said Musk never personally raised concerns with him about Microsoft’s investments in OpenAI or suggested the partnership violated the organisation’s founding principles.

“Musk never contacted me with those concerns,” Nadella told the court, according to CNBC.
