OpenAI's position at trial is that Musk quit the company when he "didn't get his way" and that he never fulfilled his promised $1 billion contribution. Musk's position is that Altman and Brockman induced his donations by promising OpenAI would remain a nonprofit and that they then betrayed that commitment for personal financial gain.

The trial is expected to last approximately four weeks. If Musk prevails on liability, a second phase will address remedies, which include Musk's request to block OpenAI's for-profit conversion.
