đ¨ OpenAI's lawyer read a 2016 email from Sutskever to Musk to argue Musk knew OpenAI would go closed-source Sutskever: "As we get closer to building AI, it will make sense to start being less open." Musk: "Yup." The next sentence in the same email Savitt didn't read aloud: "The Open in openAI means that everyone should benefit from the fruits of AI after itâs built, but it's totally OK to not share the science." Ilya Sutskever was talking about safety â not publishing dangerous AI research, the same reason OpenAI withheld GPT-2 in 2019. OpenAI's lawyer read half the email.

Key Takeaways
What the community is saying â both sides
Supporting
1
cherryâpicking quotes
cutting emails midâsentence and presenting a truncated line as proof, which they say undercuts the lawyerâs credibility.
2
safety decision, not secrecy-for-profit
âless openâ is framed as choosing restraint to prevent misuse (citing the GPTâ2 precedent).
3
dishonest management and opaque corporate arrangements
, claiming that moving goalposts and selective disclosures prove the company canât be trusted with existentialârisk mitigation.
4
grasping at straws
, urging Elonâs lawyers to rebut the outâofâcontext read and mocking the prosecutionâs edits as theatrical.
5
missionâlevel openness (benefit to humanity)
, not releasing every proprietary engineering detail â context matters, especially for nonprofits.
6
unethical and deserving prohibition
, arguing selective reading should be barred or sanctioned.
7
closedâsource approaches can be necessary
to stay at the technological frontier, pointing to examples of open projects losing competitive edge.
Opposing
1
Elon claims ignorance:
Argument that he âdid not know the detailsâ of the restructuring because those details were deliberately hidden from him.
2
Legal defense expected:
Confidence that âElon has great attorneysâ who will point out the concealment and defend him in court or public hearings.
3
Partisan conspiracy accusation:
Claim that âSam is part of the great Democrat NGO moneyâlaundering getârich scheme,â framing the dispute as politically motivated corruption.
4
Evidenceâproblem defense:
Assertion that theft canât be proven if the relevant material is closed source, so allegations of stolen assets are legally weak.
5
Dismissive skepticism:
Simple rejection of the opposing case as overreaching â âlol youâre really reaching.â

"Less open" has absolutely nothing to do with being "For profit", so obvious Sam's defense litterally has nothing, and are just trying to distract and miss lead. Sam is absolutely cooked

Bottom line, Elon did not know the details of the highly problematic restructuring plan because they hid it from him.

Sam is just part of the great Democrat NGO money laundering get rich scheme.
