🔥 Elon Musk's lawyer reveals details of xAI's $97.4 billion bid in court, possibly opening a gap for OpenAI's counterclaim
According to Beating Monitoring, a dramatic scene occurred on the 4th day of the Elon Musk vs. OpenAI trial. Musk’s long-term financial advisor Jared Birchall testified after the jury left, stating that xAI led a $97.4 billion bid to purchase non-profit assets of OpenAI, aiming to prevent Sam Altman from undervaluing non-profit assets during restructuring. OpenAI’s lawyer immediately argued that Birchall’s knowledge of the transaction mainly came from lawyers, and his testimony should be excluded. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers personally questioned Birchall, doubting how he could come up with a $97.4 billion bid but was unclear about who determined the valuation and who he discussed it with. The Verge analysis suggests that Musk’s lawyer proactively bringing up this topic might instead give OpenAI an opportunity to further investigate the materials behind xAI’s bid.
