Brockman Says Musk Vowed on Trial’s Eve to Make Him ‘Hated’

OpenAI President Greg Brockman says Elon Musk messaged him just before they faced off in a trial to talk about settling their fight — and then vowed to ruin his reputation.

In response to Musk’s outreach, Brockman suggested that both sides drop their respective claims, according to a court filing late Sunday. Musk allegedly fired back: “By the end of this week, you and Sam will be the most hated men in America,” the world’s richest man wrote, referring to OpenAI’s Sam Altman. “If you insist, so it will be.”
