When OpenAI attorney William Savitt asked whether xAI had distilled OpenAI models, Musk replied that "generally all the AI companies" do it, and when pressed, said "partly." He characterized it as "standard practice to use other AIs to validate your AI."&lt;ref name="wired-distill2">[https://www.wired.com/story/musk-openai-xai-distillation-trial/ Wired, "Elon Musk Seemingly Admits xAI Has Used OpenAI's Models to Train Its Own," April 30, 2026]&lt;/ref>&lt;ref name="verge-distill2">[https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence The Verge, "Musk admits xAI distilled OpenAI models," April 30, 2026]&lt;/ref>&lt;ref name="ars-distill2">[https://arstechnica.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/ Ars Technica, "Musk v.

Altman Trial Opens: Days 1 &amp; 2 Recap ==<br /> The &#039;&#039;Musk v. Altman&#039;&#039; bench trial with advisory jury began April 28, 2026 in the Northern District of California before Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers. &#039;&#039;&#039;Elon Musk&#039;&#039;&#039; testified that OpenAI co-founders &#039;&#039;&#039;Sam Altman&#039;&#039;&#039; and &#039;&#039;&#039;Greg Brockman&#039;&#039;&#039; betrayed the nonprofit mission he claims induced his $38 million in donations. OpenAI&#039;s counsel argued Musk quit when he &quot;didn&#039;t get his way&quot; and never fulfilled his promised $1 billion contribution. On Day 2 (April 29), Musk grew combative under cross-examination, accusing OpenAI&#039;s lawyer of asking questions &quot;designed to trick&quot; him. Musk seeks $134 billion in damages. The trial is expected to last four weeks.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;See individual articles: [[News-Musk-v-Altman-Trial-Day-1-2026|Day 1 — Musk&#039;s Direct Testimony]] | [[News-Musk-v-Altman-Trial-Day-2-2026|Day 2 — Fiery Cross-Examination]] | [[News-Musk-v-Altman-Trial-Day-3-2026|Day 3 — Credibility Under Scrutiny]]&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> Source: [https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/elon-musk-testifies-openai-trial-sam-altman-rcna201045 NBC News], [https://www.law360.com/technology/articles/musk-accuses-openai-atty-tricking-jury Law360]<br /> <br /> ----<br /> == Bipartisan CHATBOT Act Introduced in Senate ==<br /> Senators &#039;&#039;&#039;Ted Cruz&#039;&#039;&#039; (R-TX), &#039;&#039;&#039;Brian Schatz&#039;&#039;&#039; (D-HI), &#039;&#039;&#039;John Curtis&#039;&#039;&#039; (R-UT), and &#039;&#039;&#039;Adam Schiff&#039;&#039;&#039; (D-CA) introduced the &#039;&#039;&#039;CHATBOT Act&#039;&#039;&#039; (&#039;&#039;&#039;S.2714&#039;&#039;&#039;), requiring AI companies to establish parental &quot;family accounts&quot; for managing minors&#039; chatbot access, mandating parental consent, limiting manipulative design features, and prohibiting targeted advertising to children.
