Musk threatened to turn OpenAI's Altman and Brockman into 'most hated men in America' ahead of trial

Elon Musk threatened to make OpenAI (OPAI.PVT) CEO Sam Altman and president Greg Brockman “the most hated men in America,” just before his lawsuit against the company went to trial.

In a message to Brockman, Musk asked if the fellow OpenAI co-founder was interested in a settlement, according to a court filing.

When Brockman suggested that the two sides should drop their claims against each other, Musk responded, “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America. If you insist, so be it,” according to the filing.

Attorneys for Brockman, Altman, and OpenAI claim that Musk’s message “tends to prove motive and bias, and, in particular, that Mr. Musk’s motivation in pursuing this lawsuit is to attack a competitor and its principals.”

To make somebody else more hated than Musk, he would have done that already.
