Elon Musk posted more than two dozen times on X attacking OpenAI and Sam Altman the day before his trial against the company opened

The day before opening statements began in his trial against OpenAI, Elon Musk posted more than two dozen times on X attacking the company, its CEO Sam Altman, and co-founder Greg Brockman, pushing the narrative that he helped create OpenAI to benefit humanity but that it lost its way after converting to a for-profit company. Musk referred to Altman as “Scam Altman” and accused him and Brockman of personally enriching themselves through the nonprofit's assets, and appeared to boost a weeks-old New Yorker article critical of Altman to his 240 million followers, with X labeling the post as “boosted” by his account. The social media campaign is unlikely to influence the jury, which is typically instructed to avoid news and social media, but follows a pattern Musk established in March when he similarly posted about a separate trial in which he was ultimately found partly liable for misleading investors during his acquisition of Twitter.
