OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s attorneys asked for the jury in his trial against Elon Musk to disregard part of his testimony Tuesday, after Musk’s lawyer made “unsubstantiated allegations” suggesting the Senate was investigating Altman, with Altman’s lawyers accusing Musk’s attorney of unfairly prejudicing the jury against the OpenAI chief.
Altman’s attorneys filed a court brief after the OpenAI CEO testified Tuesday at the trial, in which Musk claims Altman and other OpenAI cofounders deceived him by getting him to invest in OpenAI as a nonprofit and then changing its model to be a for-profit venture.
Altman’s attorneys accused Musk’s lawyer Steven Molo of using his cross-examination of Altman “as a vehicle to present the jury with a parade of unsubstantiated allegations” against the OpenAI chief and making “a litany of unproven and untestable hearsay allegations.”
