Brockman's OpenAI Stake Worth $30B — Musk's Lawyers Pounce
OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman testified his stake is worth nearly $30 billion, drawing sharp questions from Musk's legal team.
Greg Brockman just put a jaw-dropping number on the record. The OpenAI co-founder and president testified in the ongoing Musk v. Altman trial that his personal stake in the AI startup is now worth approximately $30 billion.
That figure immediately became ammunition. An attorney representing Elon Musk fired back with a pointed question: if Brockman's stake is worth that much, why hasn't he donated $29 billion of it to OpenAI's nonprofit arm?
The exchange underscores the central tension in the case — whether OpenAI's transformation from a nonprofit into one of the world's most valuable startups has betrayed its original mission. Brockman's $30 billion valuation puts a concrete, staggering price tag on just how far OpenAI has traveled from its charitable roots.
The trial continues with billions and founding principles on the line.
