CORRECTION / William Savitt, lead attorney for OpenAI and its CEO Sam Altman, speaks with reporters outside the Ronald V. Dellums US Courthouse in Oakland, California, on April 27, 2026, after the first day of the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial. Jury selection is to begin in a high-profile legal battle between billionaire Elon Musk and artificial intelligence startup OpenAI, which he accuses of betraying its non-profit mission. While the lawsuit filed by Musk is part of a feud between him and OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman, it spotlights a debate whether AI should ultimately benefit the privileged few or society as a whole.
