Des preuves présentées au procès révèlent les tentatives de Musk pour recruter les fondateurs d'OpenAI en 2018

7 mai 2026

De nouveaux documents présentés lors du procès Musk contre Altman montrent qu'Elon Musk a proposé d'intégrer des dirigeants d'OpenAI, dont Sam Altman, chez Tesla en 2018. Ces éléments soulignent la volonté de Musk de prendre le contrôle de l'orientation du laboratoire d'IA à cette époque.

Des courriels et des témoignages issus du procès en cours à Oakland détaillent les plans de Musk visant à intégrer OpenAI à Tesla ou à nommer Altman à son conseil d'administration. Selon des messages partagés au tribunal mercredi, Musk avait exprimé des doutes quant à la capacité de l'organisation à but non lucratif à atteindre l'intelligence artificielle générale sans son implication.

Ce que les gens disent

Les discussions sur X se concentrent sur les mises à jour du procès montrant les efforts de recrutement de Musk en 2018 pour faire venir les fondateurs d'OpenAI comme Altman et Karpathy au sein du laboratoire d'IA de Tesla, les utilisateurs partageant des documents judiciaires et le témoignage de Zilis ; les réactions vont du partage factuel et neutre par les journalistes au scepticisme concernant les motivations liées au contrôle.

LIVE TRIAL UPDATE: Documents show that while still on OpenAI's board, Musk asked Andrej Karpathy to compile a list of OpenAI employees to recruit to Tesla. Greg Brockman had no idea.

Zilis in texts at the time: "I talked to Greg today and he clearly had no idea."

New: Musk was cross-examined by OpenAI's lawyers in federal court today. They pressed him on all the ways he squeezed OpenAI over a power struggle in 2017, including by hiring away talent and cutting off funding.

LIVE TRIAL UPDATE: Brockman testifies Musk secretly recruited Andrej Karpathy to run Tesla Autopilot, telling OpenAI the move would generate donations for the nonprofit. The departure forced OpenAI to conduct a layoff of 5-10 employees.
