We can't wait to make our case in court where both the truth and the law are on our side. This lawsuit has always been a baseless and jealous bid to derail a competitor. We'll also finally have the chance to question Mr. Musk under oath before a jury of Californians about this

Scam Altman and Greg Stockman stole a charity. Full stop. Greg got tens of billions of stock for himself and Scam got dozens of OpenAI side deals with a piece of the action for himself, Y Combinator style. After this lawsuit, Scam will also be awarded tens of billions in stock

Elon's influence was monumental to OpenAI. The reality is there simply wouldn't have been the AI world we have today. It is not perfect. But would have been orders of magnitude worse. This is the way of it.

Very weird, is this just Elon tweaking the timeline algo to influence the trial? Note the lack of a date / time on Ronan's tweet, and the lack of an ad label or anything else to explain it being there. [image]
