Shivon Zilis Takes Stand in Musk-OpenAI Trial, Revealing Ties and Board Link
TL;DR
Shivon Zilis testified in Elon Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI, detailing her role as a former OpenAI board member and as a liaison between Musk and OpenAI, as well as her personal relationship with Musk and their children. The case centers on Musk's claim that OpenAI breached a founding agreement by reorganizing from non-profit to for-profit and seeks damages and leadership changes; OpenAI contends Musk understood and supported the shift. Zilis described her work bridging Musk and OpenAI, including communications and confidentiality, and noted she left OpenAI in 2023 when Musk started Neuralink/xAI as the trial proceeds.
