Elon Musk's worst enemy in court is Elon Musk

The Verge, archived: https://archive.ph/rjkoa#selection-1100.0-1287.45

Here's all you need to know, though the rest might be interesting.

On cross examination, Musk would barely even explain how much he bothered to learn about OpenAI’s operations before suing over them a few years later. When OpenAI proposed a for-profit arm around 2018, he got an email outlining the proposed corporate structure. On the stand, he said he’d only read the very first section of it,, which said that contributors should consider the investments as donations that may have no return. “I read the highlighted box with ‘important warning,’” Musk said.

Savitt asked Musk if he’d raised any objection to the structure then, when he’d received the documents. Musk said that he didn’t read beyond that first box.

• Musk: I didn’t read the fine print.. We’re going into the fine print of this document.
• Savitt: It’s a four-page document.
