Security measures are tight, including metal detectors for even the tech founders.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Courtroom Dynamics<\/strong>: Only one media press pass is available, and it rotates between reporters. Despite the convenience of being able to use laptops, photography and recording are strictly off-limits, even for those with passes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Judge&#8217;s Admonitions<\/strong>: Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers has to repeatedly warn people against recording proceedings or taking photos, threatening to confiscate devices and close an overflow room if warnings are ignored.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Personal Sides of Musk<\/strong>: The article captures nuances in Musk\u2019s demeanor; he appeared calm and strategic during his own questioning but became combative during cross-examination.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Musk-Altman Rivalry<\/strong>: The strained relationship between Musk and his former partner Sam Altman is a focal point. Musk has publicly criticized Altman on social media, highlighting the personal and professional tensions that add drama to the trial.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you need more details or have any further questions, I&#8217;d be happy to help direct you to additional resources.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OpenAI Lawsuit Live Updates: Jury Rejects Elon Musk&#8217;s Claim in Unanimous Verdict https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2026\/05\/18\/technology\/openai-trial-verdict-altman-musk Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":215796,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/static01.nyt.com\/images\/2026\/05\/13\/multimedia\/live-blog-20260518-openai-trial-verdict-altman-musk-header-wkzp\/live-blog-20260518-openai-trial-verdict-altman-musk-header-wkzp-facebookJumbo.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-215794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215794"}],"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=215794"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":215798,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/215794\/revisions\/215798"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/215796"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=215794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=215794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=215794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
