Musk Pushed OpenAI Commercialization, Brockman Testifies

Elon Musk pushed for OpenAI to become a for-profit company back in 2017. That's according to testimony from OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman in the ongoing legal battle with Musk. Here's the thing: Musk is suing OpenAI, claiming they abandoned their original non-profit mission. But Brockman's sworn statement reveals Musk himself suggested a commercial path, wanting a "for-profit entity" where he would have majority control, be CEO, and have full equity. What's interesting is that Brockman says Musk even proposed a $100 million investment to kickstart this commercial venture. The bottom line: This testimony challenges Musk's current narrative about OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model, directly from one of the company's founders.
