Elon Musk told a federal court on Wednesday that he now considers himself "a fool" for bankrolling OpenAI's early years, as his lawsuit against the artificial intelligence company and its leaders played out in a California courtroom. On the stand, Musk said he put roughly $38 million into what he believed was a nonprofit meant to advance AI for the public good, the Wall Street Journal reports, only to see it become "an $800 billion company." He has accused CEO Sam Altman and President Greg Brockman of persuading him to donate tens of millions of dollars under charitable pretenses, later turning the organization into a for-profit operation. "They should not get rich off a nonprofit. That's not right," Musk testified Thursday, per CNBC.
