Musk’s “World War III” threat in Twitter lawsuit haunts him at OpenAI trial

Just days before the trial started, Elon Musk tried to settle his lawsuit, which alleges that under Sam Altman's direction, OpenAI abandoned its mission to serve as a nonprofit making AI to benefit humanity. According to a Sunday court filing from OpenAI, Musk messaged OpenAI President Greg Brockman two days ahead of the trial to "gauge interest" in a possible settlement. Brockman promptly responded, suggesting that "both sides" drop their claims.
