Ilya Takes the Stand for Revenge, Confirming Altman Lied, Holding $70 Billion and Saying 'I Don't Want OpenAI to Be Destroyed'

Ilya Sutskever, former chief scientist of OpenAI, testified in Elon Musk's lawsuit against the company, alleging that CEO Sam Altman is a habitual liar who sowed discord among executives and created an environment that hindered serious AI safety discussions. Sutskever revealed he compiled a 52-page dossier on Altman's conduct over a year before the November 2023 boardroom attempt to oust him. He confirmed his OpenAI stake is worth $7 billion. During his testimony, Sutskever expressed regret over his role in the board's actions, citing a lack of experience and poor legal advice. He stated his reversal—signing a letter to reinstate Altman—was a desperate move to prevent OpenAI's collapse and a potential Microsoft takeover, saying, "I didn't want it to be destroyed." The trial also uncovered details about a potential OpenAI-Anthropic merger post-ouster and internal Microsoft communications pressuring for faster ChatGPT monetization. While Sutskever's testimony damaged Altman's credibility, it also countered part of Musk's case, as he stated he never promised Musk that OpenAI would remain non-profit. The trial's outcome could impact the future structure of the $850 billion-valued company.
