The AI Trial of the Century: Musk Calls Out “Scam Altman”
The technology world is glued to the federal courtroom in Oakland, California, as the high-stakes trial between Elon Musk and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman officially began. Musk, a co-founder of OpenAI, has taken a fierce stand against what he calls the “betrayal” of the company’s original mission.
In a series of viral posts onX Musk didn’t hold back, labeling the CEO as “Scam Altman” and accusing the leadership of “looting a charity.”
- The Allegation: Musk claims OpenAI was founded as an open-source, non-profit organization to benefit humanity. He alleges that Altman and Greg Brockman (“Greg Stockman” as Musk mocks him) pivoted to a for-profit model solely to secure billions in deals with Microsoft.
- The “Charity” Argument: Musk warned that if the court allows OpenAI to profit from its non-profit roots, it sets a dangerous legal precedent. “They stole the charity,” Musk stated, emphasizing that he funded the early stages for the “Public Good,” not private gain.
Tesla Cybercab: Mass Production Officially Begins at Giga Texas
While the legal battle rages on, Tesla has achieved a historic industrial milestone. As of April 2026, mass production of the Tesla Cybercab (Robotaxi) is officially underway at the Austin Gigafactory.
Key Highlights of the Cybercab Rollout:
- “VIN Zero” Debuts: The first production unit, known as VIN Zero, features a stunning high-gloss champagne gold finish, moving away from the matte prototypes seen earlier.
The “Unboxed” Method: Tesla is using its revolutionary parallel assembly process to ramp up production to hundreds of units per week. - Affordable Autonomy: Musk remains confident that by 2027, the Cybercab will be available for under $30,000, offering unsupervised Full Self-Driving (FSD) that could cost pennies per mile.
Tesla Stock ($TSLA) Market Impact
Despite the courtroom drama, investor sentiment remains bullish.
Current Price: Tesla stock is hovering around the $376 mark.
The Trump Factor: Markets are reacting positively to the growing alliance between Musk and Donald Trump. Speculation that Musk may lead a new “Department of Government Efficiency” (D.O.G.E) has investors betting on a deregulated future for autonomous vehicles.
Final Verdict
With the OpenAI trial expected to last several weeks and Cybercabs finally rolling off the line, Elon Musk is fighting two of the biggest battles of his life—one for the soul of AI and the other for the future of transportation
