Lisää AI On Trial: Sam Vs. Elon & The Future of Silicon Valley

The most valuable AI company in history is on trial — and two of its founders are on opposite sides of the courtroom. In Oakland federal court, eight years of OpenAI's internal evidence is being made public for the first time. Sam Altman's emails. Greg Brockman's depositions. The 2015 founding dinner at the Rosewood. The 2017 power-grab attempts. The board-meeting minutes from the weekend Sam was fired and rehired. The Microsoft contract. The "charitable trust" promise that started it all. Most of what the public knows about OpenAI was written by OpenAI. AI On Trial: Sam Vs. Elon & The Future of Silicon Valley works from a different source: the docket. Hosts David and Sloan have read every motion, every exhibit, every sealed-then-unsealed filing in Musk v. Altman — and they're walking you through the story those documents actually tell. Not the press-release version. Not the X-thread version. The version that's now under oath.

The Big Eleven

Count the founders. Of the eleven names on the December 11, 2015 OpenAI founding announcement, two remain at the company — Altman as CEO, Zaremba in research. The other nine left. Where they went. Why they left. The Anthropic counter-roster — "all seven of our founders are still here" — that's been quietly haunting OpenAI ever since. And one careful note about Suchir Balaji.

The Day After

The morning after the verdict. Three press narratives emerged overnight — clean win, calendar technicality, systemic governance vacuum. Musk took to X to call the judge a 'terrible activist' and the verdict a 'free license to loot charities.' Sam Altman said nothing. Microsoft welcomed the decision. We walk through every statement, the market reaction, the appeal odds at the Ninth Circuit, and put six predictions on tape with confidence levels — including when OpenAI IPOs and what happens to xAI.

The Verdict

The verdict-special, filed the night of. The jury came back in under two hours — unanimous, every claim dismissed. We walk through the five-claim breakdown, the statute-of-limitations finding, the appeal Musk's lawyers have already announced, the courthouse-steps quote from OpenAI counsel William Savitt — "a weapon of a competitor who can't compete" — and what this means for OpenAI's IPO path, Microsoft's position, and Silicon Valley's next decade.

Show Me the Money

Jared Birchall takes the stand. Eight years of Musk's wire transfers. Donor-advised funds at Vanguard and Fidelity. The Pioneer Building rent. And the legal question — paraphrased from the courtroom — that may decide the unjust-enrichment claim: once Mr. Musk had contributed money to a donor-advised fund, did he have any legal right to direct where the funds would go?

The Manifesto

The episode where we read the documents aloud. The OpenAI Charter's four founding tenets — verbatim from the court's summary-judgment order. The April 26, 2026 "Our Principles" post that articulates a narrower set of commitments — published the day before jury selection. And the September 2017 email Brockman and Sutskever sent Sam Altman: "We don't understand your cost function. Is AGI truly your primary motivation?"
