NEWS: Elon Musk concludes testimony on day 4 of OpenAI trial as next witness takes the stand. Judge Gonzalez Rogers said Elon Musk is not excused but can leave for the day. He stepped down from the stand and walked out of the courtroom. Jared Birchall, who manages Elon Musk's family office Excession LLC, has now taken the stand. Elon Musk's lawyer Robert Kry is leading the questioning. Earlier, OpenAI's attorney William Savitt returned for a recross-examination after Steve Molo wrapped up his redirect, which lasted roughly 10 minutes after the break. Sam Altman and Greg Brockman did not return to the courtroom after the recess.


🚨 Musk vs OpenAI's lawyer — the cross-examination exchanges William Savitt — Wachtell Lipton's lead defense lawyer, Supreme Court clerk, trained to break witnesses. Savitt opens with a misleading premise. Musk: "You're being misleading. What you're saying is false." Savitt tries again with a different loaded frame. Musk: "Your questions are not simple. They are designed to trick me." Savitt demands a yes or no answer to a complicated question. Musk: "If you ask a question where there is no possible simple answer, I must give a longer answer because any simple answer would be misleading the jury." Musk reaches for an analogy: "The classic answer to a yes or no question is not so simple. For example, if you ask the question 'will you stop beating your wife?'..." Judge Gonzalez Rogers cuts him off: "No, we're not gonna go there." The courtroom laughs. Savitt apologizes for the question. Musk: "I find it funny you saying it wasn't an unfair question since you're only asking unfair questions." Savitt: "I'm doing my best." Musk: "That is not true." OpenAI's lawyer came to break Musk. Musk wasn't having it.
