Federal court testimony has revealed that Elon Musk sought to recruit Sam Altman to lead an artificial intelligence lab at Tesla months before leaving OpenAI's board. The details emerged during the ongoing Musk v. Altman trial.
A few months before Elon Musk resigned from OpenAI's board in February 2018, he contacted Sam Altman about joining a planned world-class AI lab inside Tesla. Musk also extended an offer for Altman to take a seat on the Tesla board, according to emails presented in court on Wednesday.
