Editing Musk v Altman et al (section)

=== Day 4 (April 30, 2026) — $97.4B Bid Probe ===
Judge '''Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers''' paused the trial to investigate the circumstances of Musk's '''$97.4 billion''' acquisition proposal for OpenAI. The probe was triggered when Musk's legal team failed to object to a document during cross-examination, inadvertently opening the door to evidence about the bid. The evidence could undermine Musk's claim that OpenAI has abandoned its nonprofit mission, as the bid itself could be seen as an attempt to acquire OpenAI for competitive advantage.<ref name="law360-bid">[https://www.law360.com/technology/articles/2375205 Law360, "OpenAI Judge Pauses Trial To Probe Musk Attys On $97B Bid," April 30, 2026]</ref>
