OAKLAND, Calif. — “Do you always tell the truth?” an attorney for Tesla CEO Elon Musk gruffly asked Sam Altman, CEO of ChatGPT maker OpenAI, in federal court this week.“I believe I’m a truthful person,” Altman replied. The attorney pivoted, asking him if people Altman did business with would ever think he misled them. “I can’t answer that for other people,” said Altman — but several had already had their say in court.
Sam Altman’s on top in Silicon Valley. Former colleagues keep saying that he’s a liar.
Testimony in a case brought by Elon Musk has given new force to persistent questions about the trustworthiness of OpenAI’s CEO.
