Second week testimony is underway in Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI’s leadership and the company. Multiple reports cite court filings that describe Musk reaching out to OpenAI just days before the trial begins. According to the filings referenced by outlets, Musk sent a message to OpenAI President Greg Brockman on or around April 25, about two days before the courtroom proceedings started. The purpose of the outreach is described as to “gauge interest” in a settlement or to discuss the possibility of resolving the dispute without continuing the trial.
One report says Musk texted or emailed Brockman about settlement shortly before the trial. Another account, also based on the same procedural record, says OpenAI’s response suggested that both sides drop their claims. The details of the communications and any further negotiation are not described beyond these filings. The reports do not indicate that a settlement is reached, and the case continues in court as testimony proceeds.
