Elon Musk Takes the Stand for … Uh, Humanity?
Musk and his lawyer’s opening remarks against Sam Altman and OpenAI focused on speciesism, bad party banter, and selling Picassos. Where will Silicon Valley’s biggest soap opera go from here?

our cat was such a jerk at the cat hotel that the hotel owner had to gently tell us she sucked and that it wasn't her fault because she was scared and we were like "oh wow we thought you were going to 86 her from the cat hotel"

About five hours into Elon Musk’s testimony, I typed the following sentence into my notes: “I have never been more sympathetic to Sam Altman in my life.” www.theverge.com/tech/921….
