Elon Musk testified in the ongoing OpenAI trial, where he faced questioning about his views on artificial intelligence profitability, his past involvement with OpenAI, and his competing ventures in the AI space, particularly xAI. The trial centers on OpenAI’s transition from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity and whether it strayed from its original mission. Musk, a co-founder who left the organization in 2018, was called as a witness due to his early role and subsequent criticism of OpenAI’s direction.
Coverage largely converged on factual takeaways from Musk’s testimony, with Reuters, Barron’s, and U.S. News emphasizing his skepticism about OpenAI’s profit motives and his belief that AI should remain nonprofit. Le Monde highlighted Musk’s combative tone and his claim that OpenAI had abandoned its founding principles, framing it as a moral critique. Notably, all sources were center- or left-leaning, with no right-leaning outlets in the cluster, and none questioned Musk’s own profit-driven AI ventures, such as his work with xAI or Tesla’s AI projects.
No outlet probed the potential contradiction between Musk’s advocacy for nonprofit AI and his leadership of for-profit AI companies. This blind spot, present across the board, leaves readers without critical context about Musk’s own adherence to the principles he espoused during testimony.
