The courtroom just got explosive.
According to testimony from Greg Brockman Elon Musk, allegedly pushed for OpenAI to become a full for-profit company years ago — and not just for AI growth.
The claim?
Musk wanted complete control of OpenAI so the company’s future profits could help fund his massive dream of building a city on Mars through SpaceX.
In court, Brockman reportedly described a power struggle inside OpenAI during the early days. He claimed Musk believed OpenAI would eventually need huge amounts of money to compete in AI, and he wanted the company structured in a way that gave him control over that future wealth.
The most shocking part is the alleged reason behind it.
Brockman testified that Musk saw OpenAI as a possible financial engine for his long-term Mars colonization vision — a project experts believe could cost tens of billions, or even more than $80 billion, over time.
Now the internet is exploding because this changes how many people see the entire Musk vs OpenAI battle.
For years, Musk publicly attacked OpenAI for becoming too commercial and moving away from its original mission. But this testimony paints a very different picture behind the scenes — one where Musk himself allegedly pushed for a profit-driven structure first.
The irony is hard to ignore.
The man criticizing OpenAI for chasing money is now being accused in court of wanting to reshape the company to support one of the most ambitious private space projects in human history.
Whether people believe Brockman or not, this testimony just added a whole new layer to one of the biggest tech fights in the world.
And if more details come out in court, this story could get even crazier.
