Elizabeth Lopatto, reporting on Musk v. Altman from the courtroom in Oakland (gift link):

Today the first witness was sworn in in Musk v. Altman: Elon Musk. I was surprised by how flat he seemed.

This is not the first time I’ve seen Musk in court. During his defamation suit, he turned on the charm and the jury responded by finding him not guilty. Today he looked adrift and unprepared. The only times he showed real animation were when he was bragging about how much he’d done for OpenAI. [...]

What did Musk do at OpenAI? “I came up with the idea, the name, recruited the key people, taught them everything I know, provided all the initial funding. Besides that, nothing.” He paused for laughter, and one or two people obligingly chuckled. But most of the courtroom was silent. I thought he sounded petulant. “I could have started it as a for-profit and I chose not to,” Musk said.

Elon Musk petty, petulant, smug, awkward, and unprepared? Where’s my fainting couch?

At another point, Musk was asked to explain who former OpenAI board member Shivon Zilis was. “Shivon was the, um, my chief of staff and, uh, you know,” Musk said. One person in the gallery — presumably familiar with the fact that Zilis is the mother of a few of Musk’s kids — burst out in loud laughter. But the jury looked puzzled.

In an earlier post today, I pointed out that it’s at least slightly awkward that NYT reporter Mike Isaac is live-tweeting the proceedings on Twitter/X, a platform owned by Musk (and where he famously has rigged the algorithm in his own favor), but, well, when you own an empire as sprawling as Musk’s, pieces of it are bound to collide.

It’s the same with women who are the mothers of Musk’s children.
