Biography Flash Elon Musk OpenAI Trial AGI Slip Tesla Robotaxi and Race Rhetoric Shake His Empire

Elon Musk Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Elon Musk wrapped up his explosive testimony Thursday in the Oakland California federal court trial against OpenAI and co-founders Sam Altman and Greg Brockman, marking a pivotal chapter in his high-stakes feud over the labs shift from nonprofit charity to profit-chasing powerhouse. According to TechCrunch, Musk admitted under oath that Tesla isnt currently chasing artificial general intelligence, directly clashing with his own recent tweet hyping the pursuit, a slip that could ripple through shareholder nerves and redefine his AI legacy. YouTube live streams from ABC News and others captured the heat, with Musk blasting Altman for double-crossing him by launching a for-profit arm after Musk bailed on funding in 2017, though he admitted exploring his own majority-control for-profit spin then. The judge split the case into two phases, per trial coverage, potentially dragging this AI showdown into Musks biographical hall of fame.

Meanwhile, The Washington Post dissected Musks X feed, revealing a sharp uptick in race rhetoric: about 850 posts since October nearly 6 percent of his output railing against discrimination toward whites, whom he calls a rapidly dying minority, with daily jabs on South African woes, hiring biases, and anti-white propaganda, tripling his prior pace and fueling whispers of a personal crusade.

On the business front, YouTube channel Big Changes buzzed with Tesla adding another unsupervised Model Y robotaxi in Austin, snagging Sweden test approval despite local Elon hate, and closing a NHTSA probe on 120,000 Model Ys without penalty. SpaceX scored a California Coastal Commission apology for politicizing regs, while insiders speculate Musk eyes tighter Tesla grip via SpaceX cash, eyeing a 7.5 trillion valuation per filings no step-down rumors confirmed, just chatter.

No major headlines broke in the last 24 hours, but this trials AGI pivot and Musks vocal evolution carry massive long-term weight for his empire-building saga.
