Musk vs Altman: Silicon Valley’s biggest trial opens — here are the key witnesses

Jury selection will begin on Monday in the long-awaited federal trial pitting Elon Musk against Sam Altman in a case that could determine the future of the world’s most valuable AI company.

Musk, who cofounded OpenAI in 2015, has sought over $130 billion in damages and the removal of Altman and cofounder Greg Brockman, saying that they betrayed the company’s nonprofit mission when it turned into a for-profit entity.

OpenAI, valued at over $850 billion and eyeing a listing, has called the lawsuit “baseless” and driven by jealousy.
