Sam Altman testified on May 12, 2026, that Elon Musk's 2018 departure from OpenAI's board was a "morale boost" for researchers who had been demoralized by his management style, including demands to rank and fire staff. The testimony came during the third week of Musk v. Altman, a federal trial in Oakland in which Musk seeks up to $109 billion in disgorgement from OpenAI and the reversal of its for-profit conversion — a case that has exposed bitter internal disputes, undisclosed financial entanglements, and fundamental questions about who controls the future of artificial intelligence.
