Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella testified Monday as the third billionaire witness in the high‑profile lawsuit over OpenAI’s governance, where Elon Musk argues the AI startup has abandoned its original nonprofit mission and enriched its founders. The case pits Musk—who donated $38 million to OpenAI and later launched his own xAI venture—against OpenAI co‑founders Greg Brockman and Sam Altman, with Microsoft named as a co‑defendant due to its deep partnership and multibillion‑dollar investments in the company’s for‑profit arm. Nadella affirmed that OpenAI has retained its independence despite Microsoft’s $1 billion investment in 2019 and subsequent $12 billion infusions, and he said Microsoft’s involvement was aimed at assuring customers rather than controlling the nonprofit’s mission. The trial, which also featured earlier testimony from Musk and Brockman, will conclude with evidence wrapping up on Wednesday and closing arguments slated for Thursday.
