OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is set to testify in a lawsuit brought by Elon Musk in a California court, with the trial’s outcome potentially shaping OpenAI’s leadership and future direction.

The trial, now in its third week, has heard testimony from current and former OpenAI executives including Greg Brockman, Mira Murati and ex-board member Ilya Sutskever, whose remarks about Altman’s behavior drew attention.

The Musk v OpenAI trial has turned into a public airing of internal disputes at OpenAI, with former executives testifying that CEO Sam Altman displayed a “consistent pattern” of dishonest and chaotic behavior. Former CTO Mira Murati and ex-board members Helen Toner and Natasha McCauley described incidents—including private texts and diary entries—showing Altman telling different people different things and provoking repeated crises, evidence highlighted during legal arguments that the company betrayed its nonprofit origins. The suit centers on whether OpenAI breached a founding agreement by adopting a for-profit structure, but courtroom testimony has amplified reputational stakes for Altman and raised broader questions about governance, transparency and executive accountability at a major AI company.
Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI has turned into a high-profile airing of internal disputes, with testimony and documents portraying CEO Sam Altman as untrustworthy. Former executives including Mira Murati, Helen Toner and Natasha McCauley gave deposition and video testimony describing a pattern of misleading behavior and chaotic leadership, citing texts and emails from the 2023 episode when Altman was briefly ousted and then reinstated. Musk’s case alleges OpenAI violated a founding agreement by shifting toward a for-profit model, but the trial has highlighted character and governance issues that matter for investor trust, regulatory scrutiny and broader perceptions of AI leadership. Altman denies the accusations and is expected to testify.
Former OpenAI chief scientist Ilya Sutskever testified in Elon Musk’s lawsuit that he spent about a year compiling a 52-page dossier for the OpenAI board documenting CEO Sam Altman’s alleged pattern of dishonesty and behavior that fomented executive division. Sutskever said he and then-CTO Mira Murati discussed removing Altman and that board members even explored a merger with Anthropic to replace OpenAI’s leadership after Altman’s November 2023 ouster. He acknowledged regretting his role in the board’s action, later voted to reinstate Altman, left OpenAI in 2024, and founded Safe Superintelligence. Sutskever also disclosed his OpenAI stake rose from roughly $5 billion in 2025 to about $7 billion.
Ilya Sutskever testified in Elon Musk’s trial against OpenAI and Microsoft, confirming he holds roughly $7 billion worth of shares in OpenAI’s $850 billion for-profit arm and defended his role in Sam Altman’s 2023 ouster. Sutskever said he helped gather evidence and draft a memo alleging Altman’s deception, arguing he acted to protect OpenAI rather than destroy it. His testimony supported Musk’s claim that Altman was unfit to lead an AGI-focused lab, and emphasized that Sutskever’s now-disbanded superalignment team was central to long-term safety work. He also said transitioning to a for-profit structure was necessary to secure the massive computing funds OpenAI needed.
