Oakland, Calif.<\/span>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/span>\n <\/p>\n

\n Elon Musk sparred with OpenAI\u2019s attorney under cross examination on the second day of his testimony, as lawyers for both sides zeroed in on his souring relationship with the organization that kicked off the AI race.\n <\/p>\n

\n Musk claims OpenAI betrayed its initial nonprofit mission when it changed its corporate structure; OpenAI, for its part, claims Musk\u2019s suit is meant to derail its position as a competitor to his own artificial intelligence company, xAI.\n <\/p>\n

\n Much of the early questioning on Wednesday focused on early internal emails between Musk and OpenAI executives over possible plans to include a for-profit structure.\n <\/p>\n

\n Musk said he was fine with a for-profit \u201cas long as it was a subsidiary of the nonprofit.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat you can\u2019t have is the for-profit become the main event, and that\u2019s what we have here,\u201d he told the court.\n <\/p>\n
