Brockman recounts Musk's bid for control and a whiskey-filled mansion night at OpenAI
TL;DR Summary
At the Musk v. Altman trial, Greg Brockman described a 2017 Bay Area gathering at Elon Musk’s “haunted mansion” where Amber Heard poured whiskey, and soon after Musk pressed for a 51% stake and CEO role for OpenAI. The founders refused, leading to a tense meeting in which Musk stormed out, threatening to withhold funding after picking up a Tesla painting. Brockman reiterated Musk’s pivotal role and funding, while ongoing debates over keeping OpenAI nonprofit or shifting to for-profit framed the lawsuit and governance questions.
