Rättegångsbevis avslöjar Musks försök att rekrytera OpenAI-grundare 2018

7 maj 2026

Nya dokument som presenterats i rättegången mellan Musk och Altman visar att Elon Musk föreslog att OpenAI-ledare, däribland Sam Altman, skulle värvas till Tesla 2018. Bevisen belyser Musks strävan efter att kontrollera AI-labbets inriktning vid den tiden.

E-postmeddelanden och vittnesmål från den pågående rättegången i Oakland ger detaljer kring Musks planer på att integrera OpenAI i Tesla eller utse Altman till dess styrelse. Enligt meddelanden som presenterades i domstolen på onsdagen uttryckte Musk tvivel kring den ideella organisationens förmåga att uppnå artificiell generell intelligens utan hans inblandning.

Vad folk säger

Diskussionerna på X fokuserar på uppdateringar från rättegången som visar Musks rekryteringsförsök 2018 av OpenAI-grundare som Altman och Karpathy till Teslas AI-labb, där användare delar domstolsdokument och Zilis vittnesmål; reaktionerna sträcker sig från neutral delning av fakta från journalister till skepticism gällande hans motiv för kontroll.

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."

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.
