the judge has indicated that missing this deadline could lead to a likely dismissal in favor of the defendants.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Altman&#8217;s Credibility<\/strong>: Musk&#8217;s lawyer emphasized Altman\u2019s credibility, bringing attention to testimonies in which witnesses labeled Altman as untrustworthy or even a liar.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Funds and Disgorgement<\/strong>: Although Musk abandoned his initial bid for personal damages, he still seeks money to support the charitable efforts of OpenAI&#8217;s nonprofit arm, aiming for billions of dollars in disgorgement.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>OpenAI&#8217;s Defense<\/strong>: OpenAI\u2019s lawyer contends that Musk mischaracterized the organization&#8217;s founding and that he had known from the start that OpenAI could become for-profit while remaining true to its mission, emphasizing that Musk&#8217;s claims lack substantial evidence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawyers for Elon Musk and OpenAI make their final case in a trial that could&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215783,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.abcotvs.com\/dip\/images\/19125379_051826-ktrk-musk-openai-trial-sw-img.webp?w=1600","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-215782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=215782"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":215784,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215782\/revisions\/215784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215782"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
